Start by slicing a small slit in a wedge of lime, and slowly rim it around the entire rim of the empty margarita glass. Pour some salt into a small plate, and dip the rim into the plate. Give it a turn to make sure the salt covers the full rim of the glass, and make your drink as always.

Margarita glasses can also be made from manufactured materials. In these options, you can expect matching sets of glasses with minimal to no variance and a consistent feel. Because finer precision can be achieved with this method, there’s also an opportunity for thinner walls and uniform design elements, such as the cactus details on the stem of the Libbey glass. Manufactured glasses are also almost always dishwasher-safe. We chose the LAV Margarita Glasses as our best overall, given their classic shape, durable construction, and wallet-friendly price point. If you're looking for a great tumbler for your margarita, we love the Emporion Glass Tumbler because each unique piece is handmade from recycled glass by artisans in Mexico. And if you want something tough that can withstand accidental drops and more, we recommend the DuraClear Tritan Margarita Glasses. What to Look for in a Margarita Glass Size Hold your margarita glass by the stem or, if the glass is stemless, by the bottom. Both of these ways will ensure you aren't warming the drink up with your hand. Along with size, you’ll also want to consider shape to assess the drinkware’s versatility. A traditional stemmed margarita glass with a wide rim generally has less all-around versatility, though it can still be used to serve desserts or other blended drinks. If you’re looking to serve only margaritas, a traditional and sturdy stemmed margarita glass is what you’ll want.
