1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it, then dip the edge into a plate of coarse salt to coat the rim. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Add ice cubes to the shaker until it's about halfway full.
3
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture and blend the flavors.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice or serve straight up if desired. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.
