Choose your serving glass (rocks glass for on the rocks, coupe for straight up). If you prefer a salt rim, run the lime wedge around the outer rim of the glass to moisten it.

Pour the coarse salt onto a small plate. Gently press and rotate the moistened rim into the salt to create an even salted edge. Set the glass aside (chilled if possible).

Mix Cocktail

Measure & Add

Add 2 oz Olmeca Altos Plata tequila, 1 oz triple sec, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup (optional, use if you prefer a slightly sweeter Margarita) into a cocktail shaker.

Add Ice

Fill the shaker with enough ice to come near the top (about 1 cup or a large handful).

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker exterior becomes frosty and well-chilled.

Strain & Serve (On the Rocks)

If serving on the rocks: add fresh ice to the prepared glass and strain the cocktail into the glass over the ice using your strainer.

Strain & Serve (Up)

If serving straight up (no ice): double-strain the contents into the chilled, salted glass to remove any small ice shards and citrus pulp.

Garnish with a lime wheel or a lime wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.

Notes & Tips

Use freshly squeezed lime juice for best flavor. Adjust simple syrup to taste — omit entirely for a more tart, traditional Margarita.

For a deeper flavor, consider reducing triple sec to 0.75 oz and increasing tequila to 2.25 oz for a slightly drier drink.

If you prefer a flavored Margarita (e.g., mango or strawberry), add 0.5–1 oz fresh fruit puree and reduce simple syrup accordingly.
