A margarita is a classic cocktail made with tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice, served in a salt-rimmed glass. Chill the glass with ice ahead of time, then rub the rim with a lime slice and dip it in salt just before serving. Shake the remaining ingredients thoroughly in a cocktail shaker, strain into the glass, and garnish with a lime wedge. If you're making margaritas for a crowd, feel free to use a blender.

Ingredients

Tequila 400 ml
Orange liqueur 200 ml

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Chill a margarita glass, preferably with ice. Just before serving, rub the rim with a lime slice and dip it in salt.
Add ice to a cocktail shaker, pour in the tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice, and shake thoroughly. Strain into the chilled glass.
Serve garnished with a lime wedge or slice on the rim of the glass.

Tip: Coat only the outside of the glass rim with salt, not the inside, so the salt doesn't fall into the drink and everyone can control how much they get with each sip.
