CLASSIC MARGARITA RECIPE TRIPLE SEC RECIPES

Steps:

• Moisten rim of 1 cocktail glass with lime wedge. If desired, sprinkle salt on a plate; dip rim in salt. Fill glass with ice.
  In an empty cocktail shaker, combine tequila, Triple Sec and lime juice. Fill with ice; cover and shake until frost forms on the outside of the shaker, 15-20 seconds. Strain into prepared glass. Garnish with lime wedge.

Steps:

• Chill The Cocktail Glass: Prep the cocktail glass by filling it with ice water, then set it aside until ready to use.
• Make The Crushed Ice: Wrap a handful of ice cubes in a clean kitchen towel or in an ice bag, and, using a rolling pin or mallet, tap on it until all the ice is broken up and crushed into pieces ranging from pea-sized to snowflake sized.
• Shake The Margarita: Combine the tequila, lime juice, agave, and orange liqueur in a cocktail shaker and fill halfway with ice. Shake well until chilled and frosty, about 15 to 20 seconds.
• Add Salt To The Rim: Right before you go to serve the drink, discard the ice water, rub the rim with the end of the lime then, if desired, dip the rim in salt, pressing to adhere. Serve The Cadillac Margarita: Strain the margarita into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice (with a salted rim, if desired). Garnish with a few slices of lime and serve.
