1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a chilled margarita glass. Dip the rim in salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, covering the liquid.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the mixed cocktail into the prepared margarita glass. Ensure that no ice gets into the glass.
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an added touch.
