1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Then, dip the rim into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake the Mixture
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Remove the lid from the shaker and strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice, if desired.
5
Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Enjoy your classic margarita!
