Method
Preparation
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass. Dip the rim into salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
Shake the Mixture
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail glass. Optionally, you can serve it straight up or on the rocks.
Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
