Step-by-step Guide

Presentation

With a wedge of lime, moisten the rims of the glass. Then, turn the glass upside down and dip it into a small plate with salt so it adheres well to the edges of the glass.
Fill the glass with three or four ice cubes to ensure it is well chilled, and carefully add the prepared cocktail.
Place a slice of lime on the rim of the glass as a garnish, making sure it is securely fixed.
As you drink the cocktail, slowly rotate the glass so you can enjoy the salty flavor infused into the rims by the salt.

Recommendations & Tricks

To get more juice from the lime, press down with your hand while rolling it on the worktable before cutting it. This will help break the internal membranes, allowing you to extract more juice with ease.
If you want a bit more flavor, rub some lime peel around the rim of the glass before applying the salt. This will give a fresh and fruity aroma to every sip.
Always chill the ingredients well before making the cocktail. Store the tequila and Cointreau in the freezer for a while before preparing the margarita to ensure a well-chilled and delicious drink.
