1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of each glass to moisten it.
2
Salt the Rim
Dip the moistened rim of the glass into the salt to coat it evenly. Set aside.
3
Mix Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and simple syrup.
4
Add Ice
Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, covering the liquid. Secure the shaker lid.
5
Shake
Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly.
6
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses filled with ice. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.
