Classic Margarita

A classic cocktail, originally from Mexico, it’s most sublime when made with freshly squeezed lime juice (not lemon), Cointreau (not any other orange liqueur) and served cold, never frozen.

  • 50ml Cointreau

  • 4 ice cubes

 

METHOD

SKIM the rim of the glass with a quarter of lime (or dipping it into a shallow saucer of water), then lightly dipping the rim into a saucer of salt. Wait a few minutes before using the glasses, to allow the salt to dry.
