1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a chilled glass. Dip the rim into a plate of coarse salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice cubes.
3
Shake the Mixture
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, if desired. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.
