Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Begin by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass, then dip the rim into a plate of salt until evenly coated. Set the glass aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice, covering the liquid.

  3. 3

    Shake Well

    Securely close the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice (if desired) and garnish with a lime wedge.
