1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass. After that, dip the rim into a plate filled with salt to coat it evenly.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 1 cup of fresh lime juice, 1 tablespoon of agave syrup, and 2 cups of tequila. Make sure to adjust the agave syrup to your taste preference.
3
Add Ice
Fill the cocktail shaker with ice cubes. You can use about 2 cups of ice for a properly chilled cocktail.
4
Shake It Up
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well combined and chilled.
5
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Optionally, garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.
