1
Prepare the glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it along the rim of a chilled glass. This will help the salt adhere to the rim.
2
Salt the rim
Pour the salt onto a small plate. Dip the rim of the glass into the salt, ensuring that it is evenly coated. Set the glass aside.
3
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.
4
Shake the cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled.
5
Strain and serve
Using a strainer, pour the cocktail into the prepared glass filled with ice, if desired. Garnish with the lime wedge.
