About margarita

Tequila is shaken with lime juice and orange liqueur over ice, poured into a salt-rimmed glass, either straight up or blended with ice.

What cooks argue about

The split is ratio and format: a classic shaken margarita on the rocks versus a blended, frozen one, and how much triple sec to lime, which shifts it from tart to sweet.
