Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Margarita.
Step 1
Start by juicing a fresh lime and lemon into a cocktail shaker, creating a zesty base for your drink.
Step 2
Next, sprinkle in some sugar to balance the tartness of the citrus.
Step 3
Now, pour in a generous measure of reposado tequila, allowing its rich flavor to mingle with the sweet and sour notes.
Step 4
Fill the shaker with ice, giving it a good shake to blend everything together.
Step 5
For the best results, let the mixture rest for about 1 to 2 minutes; this chilling step is key to achieving that perfect refreshment.
Step 6
While your cocktail is chilling, prepare your margarita glass by spreading some salt on a plate.
Step 7
Take a lemon wedge and rub it around the rim of the glass, then dip it into the salt to create a flavorful crust.
Step 8
Once your margarita mixture is nicely chilled, pour it into the prepared glass, and for a delightful finishing touch, add a splash of brandy-based orange liqueur on top.
Step 9
Enjoy your beautifully crafted margarita, perfect for sipping on a sunny day or sharing with friends!.
