1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. If you prefer a salted rim, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip it into a plate of salt to coat the rim.

Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.
3
Shake
Fill the shaker with ice and shake well for about 15 seconds until the mixture is chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve straight up without ice, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
