1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Margarita
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
3
Serve the Drink
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. If you prefer a neat drink, you can also serve it straight up without ice.
4
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an added touch.
