Margarita Glasses

The most common margaritas are composed of tequila, orange liqueur, citrus juice and simple syrup or other sweetener. Another important feature of the typical margarita is the salt-rimmed glass. On standard margarita glasses, the emphasis is definitely on the wide, protruding rim, highlighting the salt and often a lime garnish as well. True, many modern versions of the margarita come with sugar coating the rim, and sometimes the sugar is colored or flavored to match the margarita. However it is garnished, the margarita glass accentuates the vibrancy characteristic of this fundamental Mexican cocktail.
