Instructions for Classic Margarita

1

Prepare the Glass

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

2

Salt the Rim

Dip the moistened rim of the glass into a plate of salt, allowing the salt to coat the rim evenly. Set the glass aside.

3

Mix the Ingredients

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

4

Shake Well

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

5

Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve straight up without ice, based on your preference.

6

Garnish

Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
