Preparation
Prepare the Glass
If you prefer a salted rim, run a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled glass and dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it.
Mix the Cocktail
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.
Shake
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
Garnishing
Garnish the Drink
Add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass as a garnish.
