Margarita Ingredients

Method

Margarita Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by chilling your cocktail glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water while you prepare the Margarita.

  2. 2

    Salt the Rim

    Take the lime wedge and run it around the rim of the chilled glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    Shake It Up

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

  5. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Remove the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass.

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish your Margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an extra touch.
