1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into a plate of salt until evenly coated. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of orange liqueur. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice, or serve it straight up if you prefer. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
