How much alcohol does a margarita typically contain?

  1. 3 oz of 40% alcohol

  2. 2.5 oz of 40% alcohol

  3. 2 oz of 40% alcohol

  4. 4 oz of 30% alcohol

The correct answer is: 3 oz of 40% alcohol

A margarita typically contains around 3 oz of liquid ingredients, which often includes a mix of tequila (usually at 40% alcohol by volume), lime juice, and sometimes additional ingredients like triple sec or orange liqueur. The alcohol content calculated from these components can vary, but when you consider that a standard margarita indeed focuses on tequila, the measurement aligns well with the suggested quantity. This makes the provided answer a reasonable representation of a common margarita's alcohol content. The other options suggest different measurements or alcohol percentages that are less characteristic of a typical margarita, leading to discrepancies in what would accurately represent a standard serving of this popular cocktail.
