Scale
For the Margarita

- 1/4 cup simple syrup
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

Notes
- For a frozen version, add ice to the blender and blend until slushy.
- Adjust the sweetness by modifying the amount of simple syrup based on your taste.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
- To make the drink less alcoholic, reduce tequila or triple sec quantities slightly.
- Coarse salt with lime zest adds a flavorful twist to the traditional salted rim.
