A margarita is a type of cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and triple sec.
The word "margarita" is often used as a name for drinks and even people, but it's most famously associated with this popular cocktail. You might order one at a bar or restaurant on a Friday night out with friends, and the bartender will probably make you a margarita with salt on the rim of the glass. Sometimes, "margarita" is also used as a given name for girls, especially those born to Spanish-speaking families.
