1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, and 1 oz of fresh lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake
Put the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture.
4
Strain
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, or serve straight up in the salted glass.
5
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
