Mom’s Classic Margaritas is about the best margarita recipe on earth. We’re excited to share it with you!

The origin of this recipe comes from a good friend of ours, Vivian, who is Australian, and she performs on the show cat I (Kris) and I were in Hamburg, Germany in the 1990s.

Sadly, Viv lost her valiant battle with breast cancer in the mid-2000s, but we think of her often, and every time we whip up a batch of mom margaritas, we toast to the sky above our heads and Can feel her smile at us.

Let’s make the perfect classic margarita together!

When the sun is shining and the grill is heating up, why not whip up an incredible batch of Mom’s Classic Margaritas?

Sit back, watch, and laugh…see how easy it is to make the perfect iced margarita.

Now, don’t worry. We’ve tested and tweaked many margarita recipes over the years, and we always come back to this one. It’s the perfect combination of sweet, sour, tangy, and tequila. Nothing to overpower, it’s so delicious.

We can honestly say this is as good as any Tex-Mex version we’ve tried…except Joe T. Garcias’ in Fort Worth, Texas. They have the best margaritas in the world, but we do feel that this recipe is very close to the amazing concoction of a good beef town.
