We wanted to find the *best margarita* recipe, so we pulled 78 of the internet’s suggestions, applied something called a k-means clustering algorithm, and then drank. https://53eig.ht/2LZ3H7q

The clustering algorithm gives us several distinct ideals of a margarita.

Here is "The Classic":

1 1/2 oz. tequila
3/4 oz. orange liqueur
3/4 oz. lime juice

Here's the recipe for "The Tequila-Forward":

1 1/2 oz. tequila
1/4 oz. orange liqueur
3/4 oz. lime juice
1/4 oz. agave nectar

Here's the recipe for "The Sweet & Easy":

1 1/2 oz. tequila
3/4 oz. orange liqueur

And here's "The Limey & Tart":

1 1/2 oz. tequila
1/4 oz. orange liqueur
