To make the perfect margarita cocktail, you will need fresh lime juice, triple sec, a good quality tequila, and a salt rim. Begin by filling an Old-Fashioned glass with ice. In a shaker, combine 1 ounce of lime juice, 1 ounce of triple sec, 2 ounces of tequila and a pinch of salt. Shake well to combine. Strain the mixture into the prepared glass and garnish with a twist of lime or a slice of citrus. Enjoy!
