Margarita Ingredients

Method

Margarita Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate filled with salt to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.

  3. 3

    Shake It Up

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

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve it straight up without ice, based on your preference.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Add a lime wheel on the rim of the glass for garnish, and enjoy your classic margarita!
