Classic Margarita

Ingredients

• 1.5oz (45ml) 100% Agave Tequila (your choice of style)
• 1oz (30ml) Triple Sec (Cointreau)
• 1/2oz (15ml) Fresh lime juice
• Garnish - Lime wheel
• Ice - crushed
• Optional - salt rim

Instructions

1. Salt rim of glass if desired
2. Shake all ingredients over ice and double-strain into old fashioned glass filled with crushed ice.
3. Garnish with a lime wheel

Notes
This is a more classic recipe near as I can tell, being 3:2:1. No sweetener in this one aside from the Triple Sec, so the crushed ice is recommended as it cuts the alcohol when it melts. It was good, but Jeffrey Morgenthaler's Margarita is still my favorite.
