Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by preparing your glass. Rub the rim of the glass with a lime wedge to moisten it. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat the edge evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker feels cold.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Optionally, you can serve it straight up without ice.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
