Cocktail

2 oz Patrón Silver tequila1 oz Cointreau (orange liqueur)1 oz Fresh lime juice1/4 oz Agave syrup (optional, for balance)1 tsp Coarse sea salt or margarita salt (for rim)1 each Lime wheel or wedge (garnish)1 cup Ice (for shaking and serving)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass

Chill a rocks or coupe glass by filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail (about 2–3 minutes). When ready, discard the ice water and wipe the rim dry. Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into the coarse salt to lightly coat. Set the glass aside.

Combine ingredients

Add 2 oz Patrón Silver, 1 oz Cointreau, 1 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz agave syrup (if using) into a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds—until the shaker feels cold to the touch and the outside is frosty. This chills and dilutes the drink to proper balance.

Strain and serve

Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared chilled salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice (for a rocks-style) or without ice into the glass (for a straight-up margarita). Use a fine-mesh strainer together with the shaker strainer to catch any shards of ice or pulp.

Garnish

Garnish with a fresh lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.

Notes: Use freshly squeezed lime juice for bright, clean flavor. Adjust agave syrup to taste if you prefer a sweeter margarita. If serving multiple, scale ingredients while keeping the same proportions (2:1:1 tequila:Cointreau:lime).
