Margarita Ingredients

Method

Margarita Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass to moisten it.

  2. 2

    Salt the Rim

    Dip the rim of the glass into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

  3. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of Cointreau (or Triple Sec).

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) and secure the lid tightly.

  5. 5

    Shake Well

    Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  6. 6

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice, if desired. Garnish with a lime wedge.
