Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass to moisten it. Dip the rim in salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

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

Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the margarita mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice or serve it straight up without ice.
