For a smoother margarita, use agave nectar or simple syrup to taste if desired, but be mindful of sweetness. Adjust the lime juice to your preference. Some prefer a more tart margarita, while others enjoy a sweeter profile. Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. The quality of the tequila and triple sec will significantly impact the final result.
