Margarita Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a glass to moisten it. 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, combine 2 oz of La Vieja Taberna Blanco Tequila, 1 oz of Triple Sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the shaker with ice, about 1 cup, to chill the mixture.

  4. 4

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well mixed and chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixed cocktail into the prepared glass, ensuring not to include any ice from the shaker.

  6. 6

    Garnish

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