Margarita

Fresh lime or don't bother — the bottled stuff is what makes bad margaritas bad.

1 drink 5 ingredients 3 steps
Margarita

Ingredients

  • 45 ml blanco tequila
  • 20 ml triple sec
  • 25 ml lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • Salt, for the rim
  • Ice

Method

  1. If you want a salted rim, wipe a lime wedge round the outside edge of the glass and roll that edge in salt. Outside only — salt in the drink is a different drink.
  2. Shake the tequila, triple sec and lime juice hard with ice for 10–12 seconds.
  3. Strain into the glass.
