margarita

Salt-rimmed cocktail

A margarita is a cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and triple sec or another orange liqueur, typically served in a wide-rimmed glass with salt on the rim.

It can be served on the rocks or blended with ice into a frozen drink.

Variations include flavored versions like strawberry or mango: We ordered a pitcher of margaritas for the table. (Capitalized Margarita is a given name.)
