1
Prepare the Glass
Start by rimming your glass with salt. To do this, cut a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass. Then, dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly.
2
Mix the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, and triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice, covering the liquid.
3
Shake It Up
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice, or serve it straight up without ice if preferred.
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for added flavor and presentation.
