Making the Margarita Cocktail

Cut a small wedge out of the lime and rub the wedge around the rim of the chilled cocktail glass.

Roll the moist outside rim of the cocktail glass in a plate of coarse salt and let dry.

With the remaining part of the lime, squeeze it to get the juice.

In a cocktail shaker, combine the Tequila, Cointreau and freshly squeezed juice with ice and shake well.

Strain into the prepared cocktail glass.
