Classic Margarita

Juice one lime to make 1 ounce and set aside. From remaining lime, slice a thin wheel for garnish and a wedge for salt rim.

Run lime wedge around one side of the rim of a chilled rocks glass; dip rim in salt to coat. Partially fill glass with ice (we prefer 1 large sphere for minimal melting and dilution).

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add tequila, orange liqueur, and reserved lime juice. Shake vigorously until outside of shaker is cold and frosty, about 10 seconds; strain into prepared glass. Garnish with lime wheel and serve immediately.
