Margarita Recipe

Margarita Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip the rim into a plate with 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 (if using).

3. 3

   Shake the Mixture

   Fill the shaker with ice, cover it, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

4. 4

   Strain and Serve

   Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Optionally, you can serve it straight up without ice in a chilled glass.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
