1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your 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.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Add ice cubes to the shaker to chill the mixture.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice cubes. Make sure to pour it carefully to maintain the salt rim.
5
Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
