1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by rimming the glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat the edge evenly.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Shake the cocktail vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or straight up, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and enjoy your classic margarita!
