Margarita Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by rimming your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Dip the rim of the glass into a plate of salt, ensuring an even coating.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and secure the lid.

  3. 3

    Shake Well

    Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture and combine the ingredients well.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.
