1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass. Then, dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.
2
Mix Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Add ice cubes to the shaker until it's about halfway full.
3
Shake
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. You can also serve it straight up without ice if preferred.
5
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for added flavor and presentation.
