Kokto editorial taste profile for this house build. The scores are directional, not laboratory measurements or universal values.

Kokto’s house specification gives lime juice and triple sec equal weight. That makes the drink more citrus-forward and orange-led than some drier classic specifications. Taste the lime before mixing: unusually sharp or muted fruit can change the balance.

Can I make a Margarita without triple sec?

Triple sec is required for this 50:25:25 ml Margarita. For a separate tequila-and-lime recipe using agave instead of orange liqueur, open Tommy’s Margarita. It has its own proportions, so do not swap the sweeteners one-for-one.

Ingredient guidance updated 25 September 2026. Based on the two linked Kokto recipe specifications, not a new tasting test. Recipe amounts are unchanged.
