1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. If you like a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and dip it into a plate of salt to coat the edge. Set aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or straight up, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
