Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a margarita glass. Dip the rim into 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 lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well combined and chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared margarita glass over fresh ice, if desired. Garnish with an additional lime wedge on the rim.
