Classic Margarita Recipe

Instructions:
  1. First you need to rim your glass with the salt (Kosher Salt) by rubbing lime wedge around the rim and then dip into the salt.
  2. Put ice in the cocktail shaker and add lime juice, tequila, and orange liqueur. If you want it sweet, then add simple syrup.
