Method

Margarita Preparation

1

Prepare the Glass

Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip the rim into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly.

2

Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of triple sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

3

Shake the Cocktail

Add ice to the shaker and securely close it. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

4

Strain into Glass

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

5

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your classic margarita!
