1) Bring the sugar and water up to a light simmer and cook until all the sugar is dissolved. Add the ginger and steep for 30 minutes.

For the margarita:

2) Add the tequila, lime juice, 150ml of the ginger simple syrup and ice to a cocktail shaker and give it a good shake.
3) Run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and dip in the sugar/nutmeg mixture to coat the rim.
4) Add ice to the glass and pour in the contents of the shaker. Grate a little nutmeg on top and serve with a wedge of lime.
