The Classic 3-2-1 Margarita Recipe

1. 1

   Pour enough salt on a small plate to cover it.

2. 2

   Rub the lime wedge on the outside rim of a 4-ounce cocktail glass.

3. 3

   Holding the glass at a 45-degree angle, dip the outside rim in the salt, rotating as you do, so the entire rim is coated with salt.

4. 4

   (Avoid getting any salt inside the glass.)

5. 5

   Fill the glass with ice and place it in the freezer to chill.

6. 6

   Add the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice to a cocktail shaker and fill the shaker halfway with ice.

7. 7

   Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker turns frosty.

8. 8

   Strain the margarita into the chilled glass and garnish with a lime slice.
