1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt until it's evenly coated.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of freshly squeezed lime juice, 1 oz of orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup (if using).
3
Add Ice and Shake
Fill the shaker with ice cubes to the top, then secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice cubes. If you prefer, you can serve it straight up without ice in a chilled glass.
5
Garnish
Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy!
