If you enjoy a salted glass, prep the rim of your glass by rubbing a lime wedge along the rim. Dip in tequila salt, and set aside.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add tequila, lime juice, simple syrup (if using) and Cointreau. Shake until the sides are fully frosted.
Add fresh ice into the prepared glass and strain the margarita into the glass. You can also use the ice from the shaker, this is up to you.
Garnish with a wedge of lime.
