Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    If desired, rim the edge of a glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip the rim into a plate of salt. Set the glass aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice.

  3. 3

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

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

  5. 5

    Garnish

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