1
Measure and combine
Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.75 oz orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
2
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with about 6 ice cubes, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds (until the shaker is frosty and well chilled).
3
Strain
If serving on the rocks: place fresh ice cubes into a rocks glass, then double-strain the margarita over the ice using a cocktail strainer and/or fine mesh to remove small shards of ice. If serving up: double-strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.

4
Salt the rim (optional): run a lime wedge around the outer rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a small plate of coarse salt to coat. Add 4 fresh ice cubes to the glass if serving on the rocks.
5
Garnish and serve: finish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
