Classic Margarita Cocktail Recipe

The Margarita is just three ingredients. Tequila, triple sec, fresh lime. Get the ratio wrong and the whole drink falls apart. The fix? 60-30-30. The ratio every bartender swears by.

Ingredients

• 60ml (2 Squeezes) tequila
• 30ml (1 Squeeze) triple sec or Cointreau
• 30ml (1 Squeeze) fresh lime juice
• Lime wedge + flaked sea salt for the rim

Method

1. Rub a lime wedge around half the rim of a coupe glass and dip in salt.
2. Add tequila, triple sec and fresh lime juice to a shaker with ice.
3. Shake hard for 10 seconds until well-chilled.
4. Strain into the rimmed glass and garnish with a lime wheel.

Squeeze Tip

Always use freshly squeezed lime. Bottled lime juice will ruin it. The Margarita rewards good ingredients more than almost any other drink.
