Cocktail
Garnish & Prep
Method
Glass Preparation
- 1
Salt the rim
Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a chilled rocks or coupe glass to moisten. Spread the coarse salt on a small plate and dip the moistened rim into the salt, rotating to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
Cocktail Assembly
- 2
Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz Cointreau, and 0.25 oz agave syrup (if you prefer a slightly sweeter margarita) into a cocktail shaker.
- 3
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted on the outside.
- 4
Strain the cocktail through a fine strainer or the shaker’s strainer into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice (about 1 cup) if serving on the rocks, or into the chilled glass without ice for a neat/coupe presentation.
- 5
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
