1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it along the rim of a chilled glass. Then, dip the rim of the glass into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.
2
Mix Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
3
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Optionally, you can serve it neat without ice.
4
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and serve immediately.
