Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Silver (Blanco) Tequila
- 1 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
- 1 oz Orange Liqueur (Triple Sec or Cointreau)
- 0.5 oz Agave Syrup (or Simple Syrup)
- 1 cup Ice Cubes
- 2 tbsp Salt (for rimming glass)
- 1 piece Lime Wedge
Instructions
Begin by preparing the glass: Spread the salt on a small plate. Take a lime wedge and run it along the rim of your serving glass to moisten it. Dip the moistened rim into the salt to coat evenly. Shake off excess salt and set the glass aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup).
Add the silver tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave syrup to the shaker.
Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (optional).
Strain the margarita mixture from the shaker into the glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and serve immediately. Enjoy your perfectly crafted lime margarita!
