Prepare the Glass
Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a glass. Dip the rim into coarse salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, and 1 oz of fresh lime juice.
3
Shake Well
Fill the shaker with ice, cover it, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with ice or serve straight up without ice, depending on your preference.

Garnish
Add a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for garnish.
