1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into a plate of salt until coated. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice until about halfway full.
3
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice (if desired) or serve straight up. Garnish with a lime wedge.
