1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming the glass with salt. To do this, rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass and then dip it into a plate of salt. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice to the top.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well-chilled.
4
Strain into Glass
Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (if desired) and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass.
5
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass and serve immediately.
