Classic Lime Margarita



Here is what you need,

1½ oz. Tequila
½ oz. Cointreau
1 oz. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp. super fine sugar (optional)
5-6 large ice cubes
Salt

In a cocktail shaker add the Tequila, Cointreau, lime juice and sugar.
Add the ice and shake for 20 seconds.
(You can add as little or as much sugar as you like, 1 tablespoon is the perfect amount for me!)

Rub a small piece of lime around the rim of a glass. Pour some salt into a shallow bowl and dip the rim of the glass in the salt to coat.

Pour the margarita with the ice into the glass, garnish with a slice of lime.
