Notes
Note on Simple Syrup: The Simple Syrup is totally optional in this recipe. I like a very tart, crispy margarita, so I leave it out. However, I know a lot of people like just a little bit of sweetness to their margaritas, so the simple syrup is for them. Play around with it and see how much you like to make it just perfect for your taste.
Feel free to garnish your drink with a salt rim. I don't care for the heavy extra salt in my diet, and find a small pinch of salt right on top of the drink itself does the trick nicely.
