1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your margarita glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it.
2
Dip the moistened rim into a plate of salt to coat the rim evenly. Set the glass aside.
3
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 cup of fresh lime juice, 1 cup of tequila, 1 cup of triple sec, and 0.5 cup of simple syrup.
4
Add 2 cups of ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid tightly.
5
Shake the Mixture
Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
6
Serve the Margarita
Strain the mixture into the prepared margarita glass, ensuring that no ice gets into the glass.
7
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
