Making Your Margarita

Once you have all your ingredients ready, it’s time to start mixing! Here are the steps you need to follow to make your perfect margarita:

1. Start by rimming your glass with salt if desired. You can do this by rubbing half a lime around the top of your glass and then dipping it into a plate of salt. 

2. Next, add 2 ounces of tequila and 1 ounce of triple sec into a shaker filled with ice and shake it until chilled. 

3. Finally, pour your mix into a glass filled with ice and top off with half an ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice. Stir gently and enjoy!

For example, if you want a slightly sweeter flavor try adding agave nectar or simple syrup instead of triple sec. Additionally, if you prefer something more tart, add extra lime juice or even swap out the regular tequila for silver tequila which has a more citrusy taste profile. Feel free to play around with different flavors until you find what works best for you!
