    Shake the Cocktail

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve straight up without ice in the salt-rimmed glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
