Texican Martini

RECIPE INGREDIENTS
2 oz tequila (100% Agave)
1 1/2 oz Cointreau® orange liqueur
1 oz key lime juice
1 oz simple syrup
Margarita Salt for the glass rim
Lime wheel for garnish

Simple Syrup ( Makes: 2 cups syrup )

Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Transfer the syrup to a container with a tight-fitting lid, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Fill shaker half full of ice and add all ingredients. Shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds. Pour martini into a salt rimmed martini glass and garnish with a lime wheel.
