- Begin by rimming your cocktail or margarita glass. Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into a small plate of margarita salt or kosher salt to create a salt rim. Set the glass aside.

- Strain the margarita mixture from the shaker into the glass, over the ice cubes.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately.
