Margarita cocktail with salt rim and lime wedge
Crisp and refreshing Classic Margarita

Classic Fresh Lime Margarita

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The Margarita is a descendant of the 'Daisy' cocktail family, where a spirit is sweetened with liqueur and citrus. The earthy agave tequila, sharp lime acid, and salt rim form a perfect flavor triangle. This is not a sugary slushie; it's a crisp, tart refresher.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Coupe Glass: Wide rim is ideal for salt.
  • Shaker: For chilling.

Instructions

1 ✓

Rub a lime wedge around half the outer rim of the glass. Dip in salt.

Tip: Only rim the outside to keep salt out of the drink, and only do half so the guest can choose.
2 ✓

Fill a shaker with ice. Add tequila, triple sec, and lime juice.

Tip: Always use 100% Agave tequila to avoid the harsh additives found in 'mixto' brands.
3 ✓

Shake vigorously for 15 seconds.

Tip: Shaking chills the drink to roughly 23°F (-5°C), taking the edge off the alcohol.
4 ✓

Strain into the prepared glass (served 'up' without ice).

Tip: The classic serving is 'straight up' in a chilled coupe.
