Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing the glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, covering the liquid entirely.
Shake
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail glass. You can serve it straight up or over fresh ice, depending on your preference.
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for added flavor and presentation.
