Ingredients
2 oz Tequila Blanco (100% agave)
1 oz Freshly squeezed lime juice
0.75 oz Agave nectar (or simple syrup, adjust to taste)
Ice
Lime wedge or wheel, for garnish
Coarse salt or margarita salt, for rim (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: If desired, prepare your glass by running a lime wedge around half the rim. Dip the wet rim into a shallow plate of coarse salt or margarita salt.
Step 2: In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila blanco, freshly squeezed lime juice, and agave nectar.
Step 3: Fill the shaker generously with ice.
Step 4: Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, until the shaker is well-chilled and frosty on the outside. This ensures your easy margarita recipes are perfectly cold.
Step 5: Strain the mixture into your prepared margarita or coupe glass filled with fresh ice.
Step 6: Garnish with a fresh lime wedge or wheel. Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly crafted easy margarita recipes!
Notes
For a sweeter margarita, increase agave nectar to 1 oz. For a tarter drink, reduce agave to 0.5 oz. Always taste and adjust to your preference. Remember, fresh lime juice is key!
