How to Make a Margarita "on the Rocks"

One great tasting margarita. Easy to make and easier to drink!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cocktail Shaker
• Tequila (spend a little here)
• Triple Sec
• Limes or Lime Juice
• Lemon or Lemon Juice
• A Glass
• Margarita Salt

1. 
    
   Shaker

   Fill your shaker with 5 or 6 ice cubes. Pour in 2 ounces of your favorite tequila (more or less if you prefer).

2. 
    
   Triple Sec

   Follow it up by pouring in 1 ounce of Triple Sec. You can use other orange liquors such as Cointreau, Blue Curaçao (for a blue margarita), Grand Marnier, or Gran Gala. Adding one of the last two liquors makes a "Grand", "Royal", or "Cadillac" margarita.

3. 
    
   Limes

   Squeeze the juice from some limes and pour 1 ounce in your shaker. You can use lime juice or margarita mix here, but fresh limes are hard to match.

4. 
    
   Lemon

   If you prefer, pour in a dash of lemon juice. Fresh is better, but if you want, you can use the "plastic lemon" juice. Give your shaker a few good shakes and set aside.

5. 
    
   Margarita Salt

   Wet the rim of your glass and turn it upside down. Dip it in the margarita salt. Turn it right side up, put 4 or 5 ice cubes in your glass, and pour the contents of the shaker in your glass. Drink and enjoy!
