1. 1

   Prepare the Glass

   Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip it into a small plate of salt to coat the rim evenly.

   In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

3. 3

   Shake the Cocktail

   Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

4. 4

   Strain and Serve

   Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve straight up without ice, depending on your preference.

5. 5

   Garnish

   Garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
