1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a chilled glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of triple sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter margarita.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Add ice cubes to the shaker, cover it, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Pour and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice cubes. Garnish with a lime wedge.
