Margarita

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.

Ingredients

How many serves?

3.4 units of alcohol per serve

1

  • 50mlBlanco Tequila

  • 25mlTriple Sec

  • 20mlLime juice

  • 2 Lime wedges

  • Salt for rim

Equipment

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

Method

  • Step 1
    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).
  • Step 2

    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.
  • Step 3
    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!

  • GRAB A BITE

    Get some grub in before or while you're drinking - it slows alcohol absorption.
