Joe's Margarita

Yields 1

Joe says another way to think of it is as a ratio:

4 (lime juice)
3 (tequila)
2 (Cointreau)
1 (simple syrup)

3 to 4 oz lime juice

3 oz tequila

2 oz Cointreau

scant tablespoon sugar, or simple syrup

Squeeze lime for juice.

Pour over ice in cocktail shaker.

Add other ingredients and shake.

Strain into a glass with a salted rim.

To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water. Bring to a boil, then let cool a little before using.
