Classic Margarita Recipe

Margarita Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Start by rimming your glass with coarse salt. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass. Then, gently dip the rim into a plate filled with coarse salt, ensuring an even coating.

2. 2

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Add ice to the shaker, filling it about halfway.

3. 3

   Shake the Cocktail

   Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

4. 4

   Strain and Serve

   Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. If you prefer, you can serve it straight up without ice in a chilled glass.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Finish your classic margarita by garnishing it with a lime wheel on the rim of the glass.
