Easy Old Fashioned Margarita

Recipe from Season 3 of Mexico - One Plate at a Time

Preparation

Step 1

Pour coarse (Kosher) salt into a small plate. Use a lime half to moisten the rim of your cocktail glasses (I typically use martini glasses), then tip them into the salt to encrust the rim.

Mix equal portions of lime juice, tequila and Cointreau in a pitcher. Fill a cocktail shaker half full of ice cubes, add enough margarita mixture for a couple of drinks (a generous cup), secure the lid and shake for a full 15 seconds to chill the mixture and properly dilute it with the melting ice. Strain into the salt-rimmed glass and enjoy.
