Margarita -- The Pearl

Ingredients:

50% tequila

25% Triple Sec or Cointreau

25% fresh lime or lemon juice

Rub the rim of the glass with the lime slice to make the salt stick to it. Shake the other ingredients with ice, then carefully pour into the glass (taking care not to dislodge any salt). Garnish and serve over ice.
