1
Prepare the Glass
Begin by chilling your glass. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the glass and dip it into a plate of salt to coat the rim. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, simple syrup, and ice cubes. Make sure to use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
3
Shake Well
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice (if preferred) or serve straight up. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim.
