Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of a chilled glass. Dip the rim into salt to coat it evenly. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of lime juice, 1 oz of triple sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Add ice cubes to the shaker.

  3. 3

    Shake the Mixture

    Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well mixed and chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice or serve straight up, depending on your preference.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an added touch.
