1
Prepare the Glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, and triple sec. Add ice to fill the shaker halfway.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously 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. If preferred, you can serve it straight up without ice.
5
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
