“Margarita” is the name of a classic cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur, usually served in a salt-rimmed glass.
In everyday life, people order a Margarita at bars and restaurants when they want a tangy, refreshing drink. Friends meet for “Margarita Mondays,” vacation photos often show the glass by the beach, and home bartenders mix it for parties or quiet nights in.

Is a Margarita always served with salt?
