1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing the glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled glass, then dip the rim into salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Add the ice to the shaker, filling it about halfway.
3
Shake
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until the mixture is well-combined and chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.
