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
- 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.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice. Add tequila
- triple sec
- and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker has frosted.
- Strain margarita into the chilled glass and garnish with a slice of lime.
