The Perfect Margarita

Description

Mastering the margarita requires a certain amount of practice, but once you dial-in your perfect ratio, it’s a really easy cocktail to replicate. The classic recipe is 3 parts tequila, 2 parts triple sec, and 1 part freshly squeezed lime juice, and you should probably start off pretty close to that, but my personal favorite proportions are 4-3-2.

Ingredients

  • 1 lime wedge
  • 1 pinch coarse sea salt to taste
  • 1 large ice cube
  • ice
  • 2 fluid ounces white tequila
  • 1 ½ fluid ounces triple sec
  • 1 fluid ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 slice lime

Instructions

  1. Moisten the rim of a glass with a lime wedge. Sprinkle salt onto a plate. Lightly dip the moistened rim into the salt. Place a large ice cube in the glass and freeze the prepared glass until ready to serve.
