1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, run a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and then dip the rim into a small plate of salt to coat it evenly.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and if desired, 0.5 oz of simple syrup for added sweetness.
3
Shake It Up
Fill the cocktail shaker with ice, cover, and shake well for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve it straight up, depending on your preference. Garnish with a lime wedge.
