  • First, prepare the glass:
  • Combine the Tajin and sugar on a small plate or saucer.
  • Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass.
  • Dip the rim of the glass into the Tajin mixture, making sure the entire rim of the glass is covered.  
  • Set aside while you mix the cocktail.
  • Combine tequila, Cointreau, lemon juice and syrup in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well. 
  • Strain into prepared margarita glass and add ice.
