Classic Margarita Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 ounces tequila
• 1 ounce orange liqueur (triple sec)
• 1 ounce lime juice
• ice
• 1 lime (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon margarita salt (optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Salt the glass. If you'd like a salt-rimmed glass, slice a lime into quarters and rub one of the quarters along the rim of a glass. Spread margarita salt onto a small plate and turn the glass upside down into the salt. The salt should stick to the rim.

2. 2

   Mix it together. To make the margarita, add the tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker with ice. Give it a few shakes. Alternatively, you can stir all of the ingredients together in a glass.

3. 3

   Serve. Add ice to your glass, then pour the margarita into the glass. Garnish with lime wedges.
