Margarita recipe original
Brush the rim of a cocktail glass with lime juice. Spread out the salt in a small plate and dip the rim of the glass into it to coat. Set aside in the refrigerator.

Put some ice into a cocktail shaker and add the remaining ingredients.

Cover and shake vigorously until a mist forms on the outside of the shaker.

Strain into the prepared cocktail glass and decorate with a slice of lime.

Recipe Notes
*The recipe is from Mexico, the Cookbook. It indicates to use 1 1/2 tablespoons of syrup. I adjusted it to my own taste and to suit my homemade syrup recipe. You can buy the natural syrup at your local supermarket or make the above recipe the way I do it at home. You will have enough syrup to make 8 margaritas or reserve it to sweeten your tea or favorite drinks.
