Method
- Half-fill a cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Add the tequila, triple sec and lime juice and shake well for 30 seconds.
- Place the salt in a small, shallow dish and zest in a little of the lime.
- Remove the martini glasses from the freezer. Rub a lime wedge around their rims to moisten and dip into the salt to coat them. Fine strain the margaritas into the glasses and serve immediately with lime wedges.
