1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass to moisten it. Dip the rim of the glass into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Margarita
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, covering the liquid.
3
Shake the Mixture
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. If desired, add a lime wedge for garnish on the rim.
