Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    If you prefer a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and then dip it into coarse sea salt to coat the rim.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the Cuervo Tradicional tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, and agave nectar.

  3. 3

    Shake or Blend

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds. If you prefer a blended margarita, combine the ingredients in a blender with a cup of ice and blend until smooth.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice, or pour the blended margarita directly into the glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim of the glass.
