How to Make Margarita

  1. Moisten the rim of a margarita glass with a lime wedge and dip in a saucer of coarse salt to create a salty rim.
  2. If making a blended margarita, combine 2 oz tequila, 1 oz Cointreau or triple sec, and 1 oz fresh lime juice in a blender with a handful of ice. Blend until smooth.
  3. If making a margarita on the rocks, combine 2 oz tequila, 1 oz Cointreau or triple sec, and 1 oz fresh lime juice in a shaker with ice. Shake well until thoroughly chilled.
  4. Strain the blended or shaken margarita into your prepared glass filled with ice (if making on the rocks).
  5. Garnish with a lime wedge.
