1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass or margarita glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat the edge. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
3
Shake It Up
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients well.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the mixture from the shaker into the prepared glass. You can choose to serve it straight up or over fresh ice in the glass.
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.
