Margarita Ingredients

Method

Margarita Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glasses

    Begin by rimming your glasses with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.

  3. 3

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses filled with ice. If desired, you can serve it straight up without ice in a chilled glass.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Garnish each glass with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
