Margarita

Ingredients:

• 2 oz tequila
• 1 oz fresh lime juice
• 1 oz Cointreau or triple sec
• 1/2 oz agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
• Salt for rimming the glass (optional)
• Lime wedge for garnish

Method:

1. Prepare the Glass: If you prefer a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and dip it in salt. This adds a nice touch and enhances the overall flavor.
2. Shake Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, Cointreau, and agave syrup. Add ice and shake vigorously until well chilled.
3. Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
4. Garnish: Finish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for a classic presentation.
