1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a chilled 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 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of triple sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Add the ice to the shaker.
3
Shake It Up
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Serve
Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
