1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled glass to moisten it. Then, dip the rim into coarse salt to coat the edge. Set aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of orange liqueur. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain into the Glass
Remove the lid from the shaker and strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice or serve it straight up without ice, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge placed on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
