1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of gold tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of orange liqueur. If you prefer a sweeter margarita, add simple syrup to taste.
3
Shake
Add 1 cup of ice to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, or serve it straight up if you prefer. Garnish with a lime wedge.
