Refreshing and zingy, it’s no wonder the margarita is such a classic summer cocktail, perfect for any alfresco evening with friends. And for even more zing, we’ve added a little lime zest to the salt rim. See method

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.
