How to Make a Classic Margarita Cocktail

The Classic Margarita Cocktail is a staple for those who love a perfect mix of sweet and tart flavors in their cocktails. This cocktail is made using Tequila, which is a strong distilled spirit primarily made from blue agave plant. It is important to note that the type of tequila used can greatly affect the taste of the margarita; therefore, it is ideal to use high quality tequila and fresh lime juice.

Ingredients:
– 2 oz of tequila
– 1 oz of lime juice
– 1 oz of triple sec or any orange liqueur
– Salt (for rimming glass)

Instructions:
1. Begin by rimming your glass with salt. To rim your glass, take a wedge of lime and run it around the edges of your glass. Then, dip the rim of the glass into a plate of salt while lightly pressing the glass down.
2. Next, add ice to your glass to keep the cocktail chilled.
3. In a shaker, add the tequila, lime juice, triple sec or any orange liqueur, and ice. Shake ingredients until well combined.
4. Strain the cocktail into your salt-rimmed glass.
5. Garnish with a lime wedge.

– Use high quality tequila and fresh lime juice for optimal taste.
