Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz Tequila
• 1/2 oz Triple sec
• 1 Dash of lemon or lime juice

• 1 Lime wedge
• Salt or sugar to rim the glass, optional.

Directions:

Pour all the ingredients into a cocktail shacker and include some ice too. Shake for about 2 minutes. In a margarita glass (in case you decide to do so), salt the rim of the glass with the mixture previously prepared, then pour the drink from the shaker into the glass, adding new ice to the glass and garnish the glass with the lime wedge. Enjoy!!
