Margarita Ingredients

Method

Margarita Directions

1

Prepare the Glass

Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

2

Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Add 1 cup of ice to the shaker.

3

Shake Well

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

4

Strain into the Glass

Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice, if desired.

5

Garnish and Serve

Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
