1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and rub it along the rim of a chilled glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly, then set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Ensure that the ingredients are measured accurately.
3
Shake the Mixture
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain into Glass
Using a cocktail strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass, ensuring you don’t spill any of the drink over the salted rim.
5
Garnish and Serve
Finally, garnish your margarita with a lime wedge for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your classic margarita!
