Method

Preparation

Prepare the Glass

Start by preparing your glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled margarita glass.

Salt the Rim

Dip the rim of the glass into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec.

Add Ice

Fill the shaker with ice cubes, covering the liquid.

Shake Well

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

Strain into Glass

Using a strainer, pour the margarita mixture into the prepared glass, being careful not to disturb the salted rim.

Garnish

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