Margarita Recipe

Margarita Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Start by rimming the glass with salt. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass. Then, dip the rim into a small plate of salt until evenly coated.

2. 2

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice.

3. 3

   Shake It Up

   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 your prepared glass filled with ice (if desired). Optionally, you can serve it straight up without ice.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for added flavor and presentation.
