1
Prepare the Glass
If desired, rim the edge of a glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip the rim into a plate of salt.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.
3
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. If you prefer, you can serve it straight up without ice in a chilled glass.
4
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
