Margarita on the Rocks
Vary the amounts depending on your personal taste.
- 1.0 oz white tequila (Sauza works fine)
- 1.5 oz triple sec (cheap stuff is best in my book)
- .75 oz freshly squeezed lime juice
- Kosher salt for glass rim
Directions
- Add ice to cocktail shaker. Measure and add the tequila, triple sec, and lime juice.
- Use one of the lime halves to moisten the glass and twist it in a shallow container of the kosher salt.
- Shake the ingredients in the shaker until there is ice on the exterior.
- Strain the liquid into the glass, then add enough ice to bring it to the top of the glass.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy.
As an alternative, you can substitute simple syrup for the triple sec. Kind of like a tequila sour. An infused simple syrup with lavender might be nice.
