Method
Margarita Preparation
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass. Dip the rim into a plate of kosher salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
Mix the Ingredients
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 (about 1 cup) and secure the lid.
Shake the Cocktail
Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. If you prefer, you can serve it on the rocks by pouring it over fresh ice instead.
Garnish
Garnish your Margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
