Margarita Martini

• 1 1/2 ounces tequila
• 1 1/2 ounces fresh lime juice
• 1 ounce simple syrup
• Salt, for the glass (optional)
• Fresh mint, for garnish

1. Combine the tequila, lime juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. (To make a batch of simple syrup, simmer equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves, then cool.)
3. Shake well, then strain into a chilled martini glass; salt the rim, if desired.
4. Garnish with mint.
