Preparation

  1. 1

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec.

  3. 3

    Shake the Cocktail

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

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over ice or serve it straight up without ice if preferred. Garnish with a lime wedge.
