- Pour the fresh lime juice, silver tequila, simple syrup, and orange liqueur into the shaker.
Shake It Up
Close the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds to chill the drink well.
Serve
- Place a large ice cube in the prepared glass with the salt rim.
- Carefully strain the margarita from the shaker into the glass.
