- 2 Tablespoons simple syrup or to taste, or agave nectar
- 1 Tablespoon kosher salt for rims of glasses (optional)

- If desired, rub lemon around 1/2 of each rocks glass and roll in kosher salt.
- Fill glasses with ice and strain lemon margaritas over ice cubes. Garnish with lemon wedges or slices.
Simple Syrup
- Bring water and sugar to a boil. Stir just until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat. Allow to cool. Refrigerate.

- Lemons can be juiced ahead of time and refrigerated.
