Margarita Ingredients

Method

Margarita Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of Cointreau or Triple Sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.

  3. 3

    Shake it Up

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix the ingredients and chill the mixture.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. Optionally, garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
