Margarita II

Margarita II

To make 2 cocktails, now do the following:

2 slices lime
Coarse (Kosher) salt
1 ounce fresh lime juice
3 ounces tequila
1 ounce Triple Sec
6 to 8 cubes of ice

2 4-ounce cocktail glasses, well chilled

Rub the inside rim of the chilled cocktail glasses with the slice of lime designated to that glass.  Pour salt into a saucer or cup and dip in the glass so that a thin layer of salt adheres and affixes itselt to the moistened rim of the glass at hand.

Combine the lime juice, tequila, Triple Sec and cubes of ice in a mixing glass and place a shaker on the top.  Grasping them firmly together with both hands, shake vigorously 6 or 7 times to create an "earthquake" inside the glass.  Remove the shaker, place a strainer on top of the mixing glass, and pour into the salt-rimmed cocktail glass.

Now they're ready for drinking.
