1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your margarita glass to moisten it.
2
Salt the Rim
Dip the moistened rim of the glass into a plate of coarse sea salt, ensuring an even coat for a salty flavor.

3
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of Cointreau or Triple Sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.
4
Shake Well
Fill the shaker with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
5
Strain into Glass
Strain the mixture into your prepared margarita glass over ice or serve it straight up, depending on your preference.
6
Garnish
If desired, garnish your margarita with a crawdad perched on the rim for a fun and thematic touch.
