Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a shaker, add the tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.

  3. 3

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Using a strainer, pour the mixed cocktail into the prepared glass filled with ice. If you prefer it straight up, strain into the glass without ice.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with a fresh lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
