Follow The Directions

01

Step

2 mins

Prepare the Salted Rim (2 minutes): Run a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled margarita glass. Spread coarse salt on a small plate, then gently rotate the rim of the glass in the salt until evenly coated. Set aside.

02

Step

5 mins

Combine and Chill (5 minutes): In a cocktail shaker, combine the reposado tequila, triple sec, simple syrup, and fresh lime juice.

03

Step

1 mins

Add Ice (1 minute): Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

04

Step

1 mins

Shake Vigorously (1 minute): Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, until the shaker is well-chilled.

05

Step

2 mins

Strain and Serve (2 minutes): Strain the margarita into the prepared salt-rimmed glass filled with fresh ice.

06

Step

1 mins

Garnish (1 minute): Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge and serve immediately.

For the best flavor, always use freshly squeezed lime juice. Bottled juice can have a metallic taste.
Adjust the amount of simple syrup to your liking. If you prefer a tarter margarita, use slightly less. If you like it sweeter, add a bit more.
Chilling the glass beforehand helps keep the margarita cold longer.
For a smoky twist, consider using a reposado tequila that has been aged in oak barrels.
