1
Prepare the Glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup.
3
Shake the Mixture
Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture and combine the ingredients.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice. If preferred, serve it straight up in the chilled glass without ice.
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for added flavor and presentation.
