Cocktail Hour: Margarita

For me, the margarita is an acquired taste. I'm not a huge fan of tequila so they're not something I can drink more than one of. But, when I do fancy one (usually while I'm outside on a sun lounger) it had better be darn tasty. Here's a recipe for those exact sun lounger moments:

• 2 shots tequila
• 1 shot Cointreau
• Lime juice
• Lime wedges
• Salt

Pour the boozy ingredients and lime juice into a cocktail shaker. Add ice and do your 'shakey about thang'. Run a wedge of lime around the rim of the margarita glass. Then dip the glass in salt. Pour the boozy goodness into the glass and retire to the garden. Don't do a thing all afternoon.
