1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a glass. Then, dip the rim into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, and 1 oz of fresh lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill the mixture.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to thoroughly mix and chill the ingredients.
4
Strain into Glass
Using a strainer, pour the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass, being careful not to disturb the salted rim.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your classic Margarita!
