1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of your glass to moisten. Dip the rim into a small dish 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 lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. If you prefer your margarita on the rocks, add 1 cup of ice to the shaker.
3
Shake It Up
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
4
Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. If you used ice in the shaker, you can either strain it into the salted glass filled with fresh ice or serve it straight up without ice.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
