Salting the Rim
Salting the rim is a must for an authentic Margarita. To do this, prepare a dish with generous amounts of salt. Take a wedge of lime, cut an incision in the flesh, and then run it around the rim of the glass. Tip the glass upside down and twist it in the salt until the rim is covered. Add a couple of ice cubes to each glass.
- Add the lime juice, tequila, Cointreau and sugar syrup (if using) to the Thermomix bowl. Add a handful of ice cubes and mix for 10 seconds on reverse speed 4.
- Insert the simmering basket into the Thermomix bowl and strain the Margarita into the prepared glasses. Stir gently and enjoy 😊
