1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled margarita glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of triple sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
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 margarita glass filled with fresh ice. Optionally, you may serve it straight up without ice.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
