- Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
- Stir before serving.
- Serve the mixed margarita up or over ice in a chilled margarita glass with a lime wedge.
- Alternatively, to serve over ice with salt, fill a small, shallow dish with simple syrup and a second small, shallow dish with salt.

- (If you dont have simple syrup, rub a lime wedge on the rim to moisten.)
