1
Rim the glass
Run the lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or margarita glass. Spread the coarse salt on a small plate and gently press the wet rim into the salt to create an even salted edge. Set the glass aside.

2
Measure and combine
Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz triple sec, 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup (or 0.5 oz water plus 1 tsp granulated sugar if you prefer) into a cocktail shaker.
3
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 6 oz by volume). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the outside is frosted.
4
Strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail (use the shaker strainer and a fine mesh if available) into the prepared glass over fresh ice if serving on the rocks, or without ice if serving straight up.
5
Garnish
Garnish with the reserved lime wedge on the rim or floated in the drink. Serve immediately.
