Classic Margarita

Ingredients

  • Salt
  • Lime

Directions

  1. Swipe a lime wedge around the edge of a margarita glass, then turn the glass into salt so the rim is coated.
  2. Add ice cubes to a shaker.
  3. Pour in tequila, using 2 ounces, then add triple sec, using 1 ounce, followed by 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice.
  4. Close the shaker and shake hard for 10 seconds, stopping when the metal feels icy and frosted on the outside.
  5. Pour the cocktail through a strainer into the salted margarita glass, then serve.
