1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by preparing your glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat the edge evenly.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of Cointreau (or Triple Sec).
3
Add Ice
Fill the cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice cubes.
4
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
5
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice, if desired. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.
