Preparation Steps

1
Wet the rim of the glass with a lime wedge, then invert the glass onto a plate of salt to create a salt rim.
Only salt the outside of the rim to avoid salt getting into the drink.
2
Add tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, and ice to the shaker.
Using fresh lime juice provides the best flavor.
3
Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the shaker is frosted.
Thorough shaking ensures proper mixing and cooling of the drink.
4
Strain the mixture into the salt-rimmed margarita glass.
Pour gently to avoid disturbing the salt rim.
5
Garnish with a lime wedge and serve.
Adjust the sweet and sour balance to taste by adding more or less simple syrup or lime juice.
