1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass you will use for the margarita. Dip the rim into a plate of 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 fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of orange liqueur. Fill the shaker with ice, covering the liquid.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, or serve it straight up without ice if preferred.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
