In restaurants the traditional margarita is served by combining the ingredients with chopped ice in a blender, then pouring what is essentially a Tequila Icee into a Margarita glass. Yeah, that cools you down during a hot Summer day, but in my opinion it's not the best way to enjoy this delicious drink. 1 1/2 oz white Tequila (I usually use Sauza) 1/2 oz Triple Sec Sweet and Sour Lime wedge Rocks glass, salted rim. Carefully filled with ice to avoid knocking the salt off. Add tequila and Triple Sec, fill with Sweet and Sour. Stir gently and serve with a lime wedge.
