Margarita

How to make it

1. 01
   Rim the glass

   Run a lime wedge along half the rim of a rocks glass, then dip in flaky salt. Half-rim lets the drinker choose; full-rim assumes they want salt on every sip.
2. 02
   Combine

   Into the small tin: 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime, 0.75 oz Cointreau.
3. 03
   Shake

   Add ice, cap, shake 8–10 seconds until well chilled.
4. 04
   Strain over fresh ice

   Strain over a single large cube in the salted rocks glass. Avoid pouring the spent shaker ice — it carries shards that dilute too fast.
5. 05
   Garnish

   Lime wheel notched onto the rim, on the side opposite the salt.
