Margarita Ingredients

Method

Margarita Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by preparing your glass. If desired, run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to moisten it. Then, dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glasses aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.

  3. 3

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses filled with fresh ice. Optionally, you can serve it straight up without ice.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish each margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
