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. Then, dip the rim into a plate of salt, ensuring an even coating.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup (if using). Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Pour
Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, or serve straight up in a chilled glass without ice, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an extra touch.
