Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

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

  2. 2

    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. 3

    Shake the Cocktail

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Optionally, garnish with a lime wedge.
