1
Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup (if using).
3
Shake the Mixture
Fill the shaker with ice, close it securely, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve it straight up without ice, depending on your preference.
5
Garnish
Add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass for garnish and serve immediately.
