Margarita Recipe

Margarita Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Begin by rimming the 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 plate of salt, coating it evenly.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup (if using).

3. 3

   Add Ice

   Fill the cocktail shaker with ice to the top, ensuring that the ingredients are chilled properly.

4. 4

   Shake the Cocktail

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

5. 5

   Strain and Serve

   Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice, if desired. Optionally, you can serve it straight up without ice.

6. 6

   Garnish

   Finish by garnishing the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
