Salty rim. Sharp lime. Just the right amount of tequila. This is THE margarita and honestly it never misses.

A note from us

Fresh lime juice is non negotiable — bottled lime juice gives a flat, artificial result that completely changes the character of the drink. Squeeze your limes just before making. Cointreau is worth using over cheap triple sec — the difference in quality is significant in a three ingredient cocktail.

How to make it 👨‍🍳

1

Run the lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass or coupe, then press the rim into a small plate of Flaky sea salt — rotate to get an even coat all the way round.

2

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.

3

Add the Blanco tequila, Cointreau or triple sec, and Fresh lime juice.

4

Shake hard for 15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.

5

Strain into the prepared glass — over fresh ice for a rocks glass, or straight up for a coupe.

6

Garnish with the lime wedge on the rim and serve immediately.
