1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice, ensuring that none of the ice from the shaker gets into the glass.
5
Garnish
Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for added flavor and presentation.
