Margarita Recipe

Margarita Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Then, 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 tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of orange liqueur. Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) to chill the mixture.

3. 3

   Shake the Cocktail

   Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

4. 4

   Strain and Serve

   Remove the lid from the shaker and strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, or serve it straight up if preferred.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Add a lime wheel on the rim of the glass as garnish, and your Margarita is ready to enjoy!
