Classic Margarita with Salted Rim
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Squeeze fresh lime juice using a citrus press. Measure out tequila, orange liqueur, and lime juice to ensure the perfect flavor balance in your Margarita.
- 2
Prepare the serving glasses: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each glass to help the salt stick. Firmly press the glass into a dish of fine sea salt to create an even salted rim, keep the salt only on the outside, never inside the glass.
TIP:Rub the rim of the glass with lemon or lime and firmly press it into salt or seasoning. The salt will stay only on the rim so it doesn't overpower the taste of the drink.
Mixing
- 3
Fill a shaker halfway with ice, add the measured tequila, orange liqueur, and fresh lime juice. Secure the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 12-15 seconds, until the shaker is frosted and the ingredients are well chilled.
- 4
Strain the finished cocktail through a fine strainer directly into the prepared salt-rimmed glasses. Make sure no ice or pulp remains so your Margarita is clear, smooth, and refreshing.
Serving
- 5
Garnish the glass with a fresh lime wedge on the rim. Serve the Margarita immediately while well chilled to enjoy its purest and most refreshing taste.
More tips:
Use 100% agave tequila (preferably blanco) for the cleanest taste without strong oak notes.
Keep the salt only on the outside of the glass rim. fine sea salt creates a smooth, subtly salty edge.
