Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Margarita

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Fill the shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.

  3. 3

    Shake the Ingredients

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

Serving

  1. 4

    Strain into Glass

    Strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass filled with ice. If desired, you can serve it straight up without ice in the glass.

  2. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with lime wedges on the rim of the glass.
