Recipe- Delicious Party Staple Classic Margarita

Margarita! The classic margarita is a delicious party staple that everyone should know how to whip up. My recipe is easy to make (and easy to remember the ratios) and doesn’t have any added sugar. Enjoy this classic margarita on the rocks or frozen.Whenever Cinco de Mayo hits I’m reminded that spring is here and the weather is warming up. That means it’s time to sit outside, drink a margarita and relax.

Ingredients

2 oz tequila
1 oz orange liqueur (triple sec)
1 oz lime juice
ice
1 lime, for garnish
1 tbsp margarita salt (optional)

Method

* If you'd like a salt rimmed glass, slice a lime into quarters and rub one of the quarters along the rim of a glass.

* Spread margarita salt onto a small plate and turn the glass upside down into the salt. The salt should stick to the rim.

* To make the margarita, add the tequila, orange liqueur and lime juice to a cocktail shaker with ice. Give it a few shakes.

* Alternatively, you can stir all of the ingredients together.

Add ice to your glass, then pour the margarita into the glass. Garnish with lime wedges.
