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. Then, dip the rim of the glass into a small plate with salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 ounces of tequila, 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, and 1 ounce of triple sec. Fill the shaker with approximately 1 cup of ice.
3
Shake the Mixture
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain into the Glass
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or straight up without ice, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your classic margarita!
