Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by rimming the glass with lime juice. Dip the rim into a plate of coarse sea salt to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice.

  3. 3

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Make sure to pour it smoothly to avoid spilling.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Optionally, sprinkle more coarse sea salt on top of the drink to taste.
