Step 3

Add a cup of ice cubes to the shaker and securely close the lid.

Step 4

Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to thoroughly mix and chill the ingredients.

Step 5

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (optional, for serving on the rocks) and strain the margarita mixture into the glass.

Step 6

Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim or float it inside the drink for an extra touch of elegance.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly balanced margarita!
