Margarita Recipe

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 freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 oz of triple sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

3. 3

   Add ice

   Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill the mixture.

4. 4

   Shake it up

   Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

5. 5

   Strain and serve

   Using a strainer, pour the margarita mixture into the prepared glass. Optionally, you can serve it on the rocks by pouring over fresh ice.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
