Now, you might be thinking, "35% to 50% ABV is a pretty wide range, what's the big deal?" Well, my friends, that range can make a huge difference in the overall flavor and kick of your Margarita. For example, a silver tequila with a lower ABV might give you a smoother, more citrusy taste, while a gold tequila with a higher ABV will pack a stronger punch.
But, here's the thing, most Margarita recipes will call for a standard shot of tequila, which is usually around 1.5 ounces. So, if you're using a tequila with an ABV of 40%, that's roughly 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol in your drink.
