Preparation
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass. Dip the rim into salt until it is evenly coated.
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup (if using). Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds or until well chilled.
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve straight up without ice, if preferred. Garnish with a lime wedge.
