1
Prepare the glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into a plate of coarse salt to coat it evenly, then set the glass aside.
2
Mix the ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, and triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
3
Shake the cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain the cocktail
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass, ensuring no ice cubes enter the glass.
5
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your classic margarita!
