How to Make a Margarita
Knowing how to make a margarita properly can help ensure that your party guests are greeted in the smoothest possible fashion. There are so many different variations (usually adaptions are made in the absence of certain ingredients), but this ‘how to’ is the absolute original, as it was made to be, margarita.
Steps
1- Prepare your ingredients. For each margarita you will need: 35ml (1¼fl oz) Reposado Tequila, 20ml (¾fl oz) Cointreau, 35ml (1¼fl oz) fresh lime juice, a handful of ice cubes and a wedge of lime to garnish.
2- Prepare the glass. Take a martini glass,, dampen the rim with water and then lightly dip in salt. This should coat just the rim with a fine crust of salt crystals.
3- Pour into the shaker. Pour the Tequila, Cointreau and lime juice into a cocktail shaker.
4- Chuck in a handful of ice cubes and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.
5- Pour the mixture through a strainer into the Martini glass.
6- Garnish. Place a slit in the wedge of lime in order for you to fix it on the rim of the glass.
