Margarita Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a chilled margarita glass. Dip the rim into a small plate of salt, ensuring it gets a nice even coating.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Add 1 cup of ice to the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake the Mixture

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

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared margarita glass over fresh ice if desired. Garnish with an additional lime wedge.
