1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of your glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat the rim with salt. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Margarita
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, then secure the lid.
3
Shake it Up
Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice if desired. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.
