1
Prepare the Glass
Start by chilling your glass. You can do this by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water for a few minutes. If you prefer a salted rim, rub a lime wedge along the rim of the glass and then dip it into a plate filled with salt.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, and triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake It Up
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Remove the ice from the chilled glass (if you used ice water) and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass.
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately.
