Shaken Margarita

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces (60 ml) tequila, 3/4 ounce (22.5 ml) Cointreau, 3/4 ounce (22.5 ml) freshly strained lime juice, and 1/4 ounce (7.5 ml) simple syrup.

Add 5 drops of saline solution or a generous pinch of salt to the shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice.

Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled.

Strain the margarita into a chilled glass with or without a salt rim.

Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.
