1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass. Then, dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set aside.
2
Mix the Drink
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty.
4
Strain and Serve
Fill the prepared glass with ice (if desired) and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.
5
Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your classic margarita!
