Whats the most common or best way to prepare a margarita?
Answers:
Note I don't use exact measurements I free pour but the best margaritas are made with
limeade-make the drink from concentrate
triple sec
gran marnier
tequila
put in a shaker or blender if you like frozen margaritas with ice and place into a glass with salt. I feel that the salt enhances the flavors of all of the ingredients..but if you dont' like it don't use it..happy cinco de mayo..
You..Yell...HEY PARTNER!!!
Use either a pre made mix and just add tequila or use lime juice, triple sec, and tequila.
The most common is probably in a blender, but I prefer mine on the rocks with salt.
A good website for drink recipes is:
http://www.webtender.com/
The margarita recipe from webtender.com is a common/traditional recipe for margaritas. Here is the recipe:

* 1 1/2 oz Tequila
* 1/2 oz Triple sec

Mixing instructions:
Rub rim of cocktail glass with lime juice, dip rim in salt. Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into the salt-rimmed glass, and serve.
Webtender.com also has a recipe titled "Margarita #2" in which the amounts for the triple sec and tequila are reversed. Here is that recipe:
Margarita #2

You can also find a lot of margarita recipes by using a web search engine such as Google.com. Here is one I did:

On a personal note, my favorite margaritas are strawberry margaritas. Here's a Google search for "strawberry margarita recipe":

Sometimes the easiest way to make margaritas (and daiquiris) are to buy a mix from the store. You can buy them in virgin versions, which kids (and those who don't consume alcohol) love.
Enjoy!
1 can frozen limeade (like minutemaid or similar)
2/3 cup (or more) tequila
1/2 cup orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Grand Marnier,or similar)
About 4 cups ice cubes
1 or 2 limes
Put the limeade, tequila and liqueur in the blender; add ice cubes (one or two at a time) through the hole in the lid and keep blending until slushy. If you want salt on the rims of your glasses, cut a slice of lime, rub it around the rim of the glass, and dip the glass rim in coarse salt. I hope you find a good recipe!!
First, you get dressed and then you get into your car, after that drive to your nearest Mexican place. Get a table, sit down and ask your waiter or bartender for a margarita. They will bring it straight to you.
My favorite is made with Cuervo Gold and Lime Margarita mix with a grand Marnier Floater.
