In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

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

Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Enjoy your classic Margarita!
