1
Prepare the Glass
If you prefer a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Drink
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of triple sec, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice to the top.
3
Shake
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Remove the lid from the shaker and strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice, if desired.

5
Garnish the Drink
Add a lime wedge to the rim of the glass as a garnish. Optionally, you can sprinkle a little salt on top of the drink for additional flavor.
