Preparation Directions

1

Prepare the Glass

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

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

3

Shake the Mixture

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

Strain and Serve

Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice. Optionally, you can serve it straight up without ice.

Garnish

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