1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass to moisten it. Then, dip the rim of the glass into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 1 oz of triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Securely close the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. If desired, you can serve it straight up without ice.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass before serving.
