Margarita Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a chilled rocks glass to moisten it. Dip the rim of the glass into salt to coat the edge evenly. Set the glass aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

  3. 3

    Shake Well

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

  4. 4

    Serve the Margarita

    Fill the prepared rocks glass with fresh ice cubes and strain the margarita mixture from the shaker into the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
