1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a small plate filled with salt to coat it evenly.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can adjust the amount of simple syrup to taste.
3
Add Ice
Fill the shaker with ice cubes. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice cubes. Ensure that the salted rim is facing up.
5
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an added touch.
6
Enjoy
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic margarita on the rocks!
