Margarita Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

2. 2

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup if desired. Fill the shaker with ice.

3. 3

   Shake the Cocktail

   Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

4. 4

   Strain and Serve

   Fill the prepared glass with ice (if serving on the rocks) and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass. If blending, pour the mixture into a blender with ice and blend until smooth, then pour into the glass.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for a fresh touch.
