Margarita

(https://www.bonappetit.com/drinks/cocktails/article/the-secret-to-a-perfect-margarita) 


Having made many, many margaritas according to all sorts of proportional directives, I have finally determined (for my own tastes, at least) that the very best margaritas are concocted as follows:

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ oz. tequila 100% agave a must, preferably a reposado
  • 1 ½ oz. triple sec or Cointreau
  • 1 to 1 ¼ oz. lime juice
  • Salt for the rim of the glass

Instructions

  1. Shake all the ingredients with cracked ice in a cocktail shaker until the exterior frosts. Strain into a glass over rocks, or “up” into a cocktail glass. A slice of lime as a garnish, while not strictly necessary, is a civilized touch.
