Preparation Steps

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.

Mix the Ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and simple syrup (if using). Fill the shaker with ice.

Shake the Cocktail

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

Strain and Serve

Using a strainer, pour the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve straight up if preferred. Garnish with a lime wedge.
