1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming the glass with salt. To do this, 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. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the Jose Cuervo Tradicional® Blanco Tequila, Triple Sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. If you prefer, you can also serve it straight up in a chilled glass without ice.
5
Garnish
Garnish the margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
