Margarita Ingredients

2 oz Tequila
1 oz Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
1 oz Orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Triple Sec)
1/2 oz Simple syrup (optional, to taste)
1 tsp Salt (for rimming the glass)
1 piece Lime wedge (for garnish)

Method

Preparation

1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, cut a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass. Then, dip the rim into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly.
2
Mix the Margarita
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup (if using). Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
3
Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
