1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming the edge of the glass with a lime wedge to moisten it. Dip the rim of the glass into a plate of salt, ensuring that the salt sticks to the rim. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, and 1 oz of fresh lime juice. If you prefer a sweeter margarita, add 0.5 oz of simple syrup.
3
Shake the Mixture
Fill the shaker with ice cubes (about 1 cup) and securely close the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill the ingredients and mix them well.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the margarita mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, if desired. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
