How to make a classic Margarita with tequila, fresh lime juice, and triple sec — served with a dehydrated lime wheel and a salt rim.
A Margarita is tequila, fresh lime juice, and orange liqueur (triple sec or Cointreau), shaken with ice and served in a salt-rimmed glass. The standard ratio is 2 : 1 : 1 — adjust the lime up if your tequila leans sweet.
