1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge 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 fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Make sure to use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
3
Add Ice
Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, covering the liquid completely. This will chill the drink as you shake it.
4
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
5
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice (or serve it straight up without ice if preferred).
6
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
