Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Run a lime wedge around the rim of a glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into a plate of salt until it is evenly coated.

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, and triple sec. Add ice to fill the shaker halfway.

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

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

  5. 5

    Garnish

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