How to make a Margarita· 3 min

  1. 1Run a lime wedge around half the rim of the glass and dip it in salt.
  2. 2Add the tequila, triple sec and lime juice to a shaker.
  3. 3Fill with ice and shake hard for 10–12 seconds.
  4. 4Strain into the glass (over fresh ice if using a rocks glass).
  5. 5Garnish with a lime wheel.

Bartender tip: Salting only half the rim lets each sip be salty or not. Always use 100% agave blanco tequila — mixtos taste harsh.
