Margarita 

Classic Margarita Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 oz (60 ml) Tequila (preferably Blanco or Silver)
• 1 oz (30 ml) Triple Sec (e.g., Cointreau or Grand Marnier)
• 1 oz (30 ml) Fresh Lime Juice
• 1/2 oz (15 ml) Agave Syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
• Ice cubes
• Coarse Salt (for rimming the glass)
• Lime wedge (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Glass:
   • Run a lime wedge around the rim of a cocktail glass (traditionally a coupe or margarita glass).
   • Dip the rim into a plate of coarse salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2. Mix the Cocktail:
   • In a cocktail shaker, combine tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave syrup (if using).
   • Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix.
3. Serve:
   • Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (optional, if you like it on the rocks).
   • Strain the cocktail into the glass.
4. Garnish:
   • Add a lime wedge or wheel on the rim of the glass.
5. Enjoy:
   • Serve immediately and savor your freshly made Margarita!

Tips:

• Adjust the lime juice and agave syrup to suit your taste.
• For a frozen Margarita, blend all the ingredients with a cup of ice instead of shaking.
• Try experimenting with flavored salts for the rim, such as chili-lime salt, for a twist.
