Margarita

I love this cocktail as it's refreshing rather than rich and gluggy.

1 1/2 parts Tequila (gold or white, you choose)
1 part freshly pressed lime juice
1/2 part Triple Sec or Cointreau

ice cubs
salt for the rim of the glass
lime wedges

Cover a dessert plate or saucer with salt. Run a lime wedge around the edge of the glass and dip the glass rim into the salt.

Pour all the ingredients into a shaker with a few ice cubes and shake. Drain into the glasses. Garnish with a slice or wedge of lime. Serve immediately.
