Instructions

  1. 1

    Rub the lime wedge around the outer rim of a rocks glass, then dip the rim into a shallow plate of coarse salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

  3. 3

    Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty and very cold.

  4. 4

    Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice and strain the margarita over the top.

  5. 5

    Garnish with the lime wedge and serve immediately.
