Margarita Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into a plate of salt until it is coated to your liking.

2. 2

   Mix the Ingredients

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

3. 3

   Shake It Up

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

4. 4

   Strain and Serve

   Fill the prepared glass with ice (if desired), then strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass for garnish and serve immediately.
