1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your serving glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass to moisten it.
2
Rim with Salt
Dip the rim of the glass into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
3
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.
4
Shake the Cocktail
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
5
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve straight up without ice, depending on your preference.
6
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an added touch.
