Prepare glass
If desired, run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip the rim into coarse salt or Tajín. Fill the glass about two-thirds full with crushed ice and set aside.

Combine spirits and citrus
In a cocktail shaker, add 1 oz El Tequileño blanco tequila, 0.5 oz triple sec, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 tsp simple syrup (or a few drops of agave to taste). Add a small handful of ice to the shaker (enough to chill but not over-dilute).

Garnish and serve
Float a lime wheel or place a wedge on the rim. Serve immediately with a short stirring straw or spoon so the drink can be re-stirred as the ice melts.
