1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass or margarita glass. Dip the rim into salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, and 1 oz of fresh lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, and secure the lid tightly.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Remove the lid from the shaker and strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice cubes. Optional: You can also serve it straight up without ice in the glass.
5
Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your classic margarita!
