Notes
- The glasses — Although this one might seem unimportant; we’d strongly recommend rimming the glasses with salt. This will improve both the flavor and the texture of your margarita. Another important thing is chilling the glasses beforehand. Indeed, you will already be using ice for some freshness, but it simply won’t be enough if your glasses are warm.
