1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming the glass with salt. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass. Then, dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Fill the shaker with ice, covering the liquid. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Fill the prepared glass with ice and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass. Optionally, you can serve it straight up without ice in a chilled glass.
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for added flair and flavor.
