Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Margarita.
Step 1
To craft the perfect margarita, start by grabbing a cocktail shaker and pouring in your tequila, fresh lime juice, sweetened lime juice, and triple sec.
Step 2
Next, add a generous scoop of ice to the shaker—this is where the magic begins! Secure the lid and shake it up vigorously for about 30 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels frosty and chilled.
Step 3
While your cocktail is getting nice and cold, take a fresh lime wedge and gently rub it around the rim of a margarita glass.
Step 4
This little step adds a burst of flavor and helps the salt stick.
Step 5
Now, dip the rim into salt to create a beautiful, salty edge that perfectly complements your drink.
Step 6
Once your glasses are ready, fill each one with ice cubes to keep your margarita refreshingly cool.
Step 7
Carefully strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glasses, making sure to distribute it evenly for that perfect pour.
Step 8
Finally, garnish each drink with a lime wedge for a pop of color and a hint of zest.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful flavors of your homemade margarita with friends or family—cheers to a great time!.
