1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it, and then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of orange liqueur. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) to chill the mixture.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Securely close the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the cocktail into the prepared glass, being careful not to disturb the salted rim.
5
Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
