Cocktail

1 1/2 oz Silver (blanco) tequila1/2 oz Triple sec (or Cointreau)3/4 oz Fresh lime juice1/4 oz Simple syrup (optional, to taste)6 cubes Ice (for shaking)

Garnish & Glass

1 tsp Coarse kosher salt (for rim)1 piece Lime wheel or wedge (for garnish and rubbing rim)3 cubes Ice (for serving)

Method

Prepare Glass

Salt the rim

Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a chilled coupe, margarita, or rocks glass. Spread the coarse salt on a small plate and press the rim into the salt, rotating to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.

Mix Cocktail

Fill a cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with ice cubes.

Add 1.5 oz silver tequila, 0.5 oz triple sec, and 0.75 oz freshly squeezed lime juice to the shaker. If you prefer a slightly sweeter Margarita, add 0.25 oz simple syrup (optional).

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is very cold and well-chilled.

If serving 'on the rocks': Fill the prepared glass with 3 ice cubes and double-strain the cocktail from the shaker into the glass over the ice. If serving 'up' (no ice): double-strain into the prepared chilled glass without adding ice.

Finish & Serve

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