1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
3
Shake Well
Secure the lid on your shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice cubes (if desired).
5
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with lime wedges on the rim and a sprig of fresh cilantro if using.
