1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Rub the rim of a chilled cocktail glass with a lime wedge, then dip the rim into the salt to coat it evenly.
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.
3
Add Ice and Shake
Fill the shaker with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Remove the lid from the shaker, and using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass. You can serve it straight up or over fresh ice, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
