00:00Ever wanted to know how to make the perfect margarita? It's Cinco de Mayo and we're giving you
00:03no better way to celebrate the flavors of Mexico than with a delicious cocktail. Refreshing,
00:08citrusy, and just a little bit fancy, Classic Margarita is one of the most iconic cocktails
00:12in the world. And best of all, it's super easy to make. Here's what you need. First things first,
00:16you need a high quality tequila. Well, I'm personally going to Blanco here, but you can
00:19use pretty much anything that you want. From there, we need a triple sec, a cocktail shaker,
00:22beautiful margarita glass, salt, and of course, a lot of lime. Secret to a good margarita is
00:28fresh limes and lots of them. I love limes. I love them. They're great. Let's get started.
00:33Now, first thing you want to do is take one of those beautiful limes that we've now cut into a
00:37wedge and we want to lightly run it around the rim of your margarita glass. From there,
00:41what you want to do is grab the margarita glass, dip it into the salt. Now, don't be afraid to
00:46get
00:46a bit of movement happening. You want to get that salt on there as much as you can. Next thing
00:49you
00:50want to do is open up your cocktail shaker and fill the glass. The thing you want to remember when
00:54it
00:54comes to margaritas is the two-one-one rule. That's the ratio of how much tequila to triple sec
00:59the lime juice you need. First things first, two parts tequila. Then, we're going to follow it up
01:05with one part triple sec. Next, you need one part lime juice. Now, next step and the fun bit,
01:11probably top on your cocktail shaker and start shaking until the outside gets covered.
01:19Then, pop your cocktail shaker down, take the lid off, and we'll start the strain.
01:24We're going to garnish with a lime wheel. There you have it. The easiest margarita you'll ever make.
01:29Happy Ciccermite.
