Preparation

1. Prepare the Glass

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of orange liqueur. If you like your margarita a little sweeter, add 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

3. Shake

Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

4. Strain

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve straight up in a chilled glass.
