1942 Margarita Recipe

Preparation Instructions

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 to moisten it, then dip the rim into a small plate of salt, ensuring an even coating.

2. 2

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, Cointreau (or Triple Sec), and agave syrup. Add the ice cubes to the shaker.

3. 3

   Shake It Up

   Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients well.

4. 4

   Strain and Serve

   Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice or serve straight up without ice, depending on your preference.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for added flavor and presentation.
