Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    If desired, rim the glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Drink

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the silver tequila, triple sec, and lime agua fresca. Fill the shaker with ice, cover, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

  3. 3

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. Optionally, you can use a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth pour.

  4. 4

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for added flavor and presentation.
