1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing the glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into a plate of kosher salt to coat it evenly.
2
Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, Cointreau (or Triple Sec), and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
3
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Remove the lid and strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice (if desired).
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass or float it in the cocktail.
