• 1 wedge lime
• 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, or as needed
• 1 large ice cube
• 1 cup ice cubes, or as needed
• 2 fluid ounces white tequila
• 1 1/2 fluid ounces triple sec (or Cointreau for niceness)
• Sweetness (optional)
• Simple syrup (1:1 ratio water/sugar)
• Agave nectar
• 1 fluid ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 slice lime

• Gather all ingredients.
• Moisten the rim of a glass with a lime wedge. Sprinkle salt onto a plate. Lightly dip the moistened rim into the salt.
• Place a large ice cube in the glass and freeze the prepared glass until ready to serve.
• Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice. Add tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. Cover and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker has frosted.
• Strain margarita into the chilled glass and garnish with a slice of lime.

For the best results, be sure to use fresh ice, fresh limes, and a nice bottle of triple sec, like Cointreau. You'll also want to use a decent 100% agave white tequila.

Some like to add a dash of agave nectar for a little extra sweetness, simple syrup would have the same effect.

Fell in love with these in Dallas, TX baby!
