Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Shake the Cocktail

    Add ice to the shaker and close it tightly. Shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass, ensuring not to disturb the salted rim.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with a lime wedge on the edge of the glass and serve immediately.
