Margarita Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Start by preparing your glass. Rub the rim of a chilled glass with a lime wedge to moisten it, then dip the rim into salt to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Add 1 cup of ice to the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake the Mixture

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

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice or serve it straight up without ice if preferred. Garnish with a lime wedge.
