Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the glass (2 minutes): Moisten the rim of a margarita glass with a lime wedge. Spread sea salt evenly on a small plate. Gently rotate the moistened rim in the salt to coat evenly.

02

Step

Chill the glass (2 minutes): Place a large ice cube in the prepared glass and set aside to chill while you prepare the margarita.

03

Step

Combine ingredients (3 minutes): Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the tequila, triple sec, and freshly squeezed lime juice.

04

Step

Shake vigorously (2 minutes): Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.

05

Step

Strain and serve (1 minute): Strain the margarita into the salt-rimmed, chilled glass filled with the large ice cube. Garnish with a fresh lime slice and serve immediately.

For a smoother margarita, use agave nectar or simple syrup to taste if desired, but be mindful of sweetness.
Adjust the lime juice to your preference. Some prefer a more tart margarita, while others enjoy a sweeter profile.
Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. The quality of the tequila and triple sec will significantly impact the final result.
