Classic margarita made with fresh lime juice.

Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt until it is evenly coated.

Prepare the Glass

In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid.

Mix the Ingredients

Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

Shake it Up

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice, ensuring not to disrupt the salted rim.

Strain into Glass

Garnish your margarita with a lime wedge. Serve immediately and enjoy!
