Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a lime wedge and run it along the rim of a chilled cocktail glass. Dip the rim of the glass into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

  3. 3

    Shake

    Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass, ensuring not to disturb the salted rim. Garnish with a lime wedge.
