Ingredients
- 1 ½ oz rum
- 1 oz triple sec
- ¾ oz fresh lime juice
- ½ oz agave syrup
- lime wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Cut a lime and rub edges of glasses with it. Then dip the glasses in a plate that has either sugar or salt or a combination.
- Combine rum, lime juice, triple sec and agave syrup in cocktail shaker with ice. Shake for 20 seconds. Strain in a margarita glass and garnish with a sliced lime.
Notes
- Use white rum when making the margarita. Other rums can muddy the flavor.
- Fresh lime juice is the only way to go. Store-bought doesn't taste as good and is actually more expensive.
- Use agave syrup instead of simple syrup. It takes takes less work and adds additional flavor.
- Use crushed ice which will make the margarita colder quicker.
