How to Make the Perfect Margarita at Home (Method):
Prepare the glass:
Put some salt on a wide plate. Wet the rim of the glass with a lemon wedge. Then turn the glass upside down and dip it in salt so that the salt gets on the rim of the glass. Keep it aside.
Mixing:
Put ice in a cocktail shaker. Add tequila, triple sec and lemon juice to it.
Shake:
Close the lid of the shaker and shake well for about 15 seconds.
Serve:
Strain this mixture in a pre-prepared salted glass and garnish it with a lemon slice.
🍸 Tips:
If you want to drink it cold, then you can keep the glass in the fridge for a few minutes before serving. You can also make “Frozen Margarita” by blending it.
