Margarita

Ingredients:

  • 65 ml Tequila
  • 20 ml Cointreau
  • 45 ml Lemon juice
Method:
  1. Moisten the inner and outer edge of a cocktail glass with a slice of lemon and dip in a fine salt.
  2. Shake the ingredients well with ice.
  3. Strain into the glass.

Tip: Always use smaller sized ice cubes when making a cocktail. This creates a smoother taste by allowing a proper mix of water and alcohol, since they melt faster when the alcohol is poured over them.
