1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Dip the rim of the glass into salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and simple syrup.
3
Add Ice
Add the ice cubes to the shaker, filling it about halfway.
4
Shake the Mixture
Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, until the mixture is well combined and chilled.
5
Strain into Glass
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, ensuring that the rim remains salted.
6
Garnish
Garnish with lime wedges on the rim of the glass.
