Preparation

1

Prepare the Glass

If you prefer a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled glass and dip it into coarse salt to coat the rim. Set the glass aside.

2

Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.

3

Shake the Cocktail

Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

4

Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. If not serving over ice, strain into a chilled glass without ice.

5

Garnish

Add a lime wheel on the rim of the glass for garnish.
