Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Rim the glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into a plate of salt until it’s evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Shake

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice (if desired) or serve straight up without ice.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
