1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a chilled glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of agave syrup. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the shaker.
3
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the mixed drink into the prepared glass. If desired, you can serve it over fresh ice or straight up.
5
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
