Tequila

Nothing says Mexico like the Margarita, an elegant blend of tequila, fresh lime and orange, served in a salt-rimmed glass – and the last of the great classic cocktails.

What you’ll need

Ingredients

Serves:
1
3.4 units of alcohol per serving

Equipment

  • Coupe glass
  • Strainer
  • Jigger
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Knife
  • Chopping board

Method

Rim

Using the knife, cut two lime wedges and use one to rub along the rim of the glass. Roll the rim in salt (either half or all of the rim).

Measure

Measuring with the jigger, add the tequila, triple sec and lime juice into an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake the mixture until the surface of the shaker feels chilled.

Strain

Use the cocktail strainer to strain the mixture into the coupe glass, being careful not to get any salt into the drink.

Garnish

Place the remaining lime wedge on top of the drink to garnish. And enjoy!
