1
Prepare the Glass
If you prefer a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
3
Shake Well
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 fresh ice or serve straight up if preferred. Garnish with a lime wedge.
