Simple Syrup
Bring sugar and water to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let cool. Makes 2 cups.
Margarita
In a bowl, mix the salt and chili powder; spread on a small plate. Moisten the rim of a glass with the lime wedge; turn the glass in the salt to coat.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the serrano slices and 2 cilantro sprigs. Fill the shaker halfway with ice; add the lime juice, tequila, triple sec and Rich Simple Syrup. Cover; shake vigorously until cold, about 15 seconds. Strain into the salt-rimmed glass. Garnish with remaining cilantro.
