How to make a margarita cocktail?

A classic margarita cocktail is made with tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice that’s shaken and served over ice in a short salt-rimmed cocktail glass.

Looking to level up your next marg? Try adding 30ml sugar syrup or muddling in a handful of berries for extra sweetness. Or, if you love spicy, add a sprinkle of chilli flakes to your salt-rimmed glass.
