Run a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass and dip into coarse salt.
Add tequila, triple sec, and freshly squeezed lime juice into a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled.
Double-strain into the prepared salt-rimmed cocktail glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.
Always use 100% agave tequila blanco - mixto tequilas introduce harsh sweetness that throws off the balance. For the best result, juice your limes fresh to order; bottled lime juice lacks the volatile aromatics that make a great Margarita sing.
