Method
Prep Glass
Salt the Rim
Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a chilled coupe or rocks glass to moisten. Spread the coarse salt on a small plate and gently press the moistened rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.
Make Cocktail
Add 2 oz tequila, 1 oz triple sec, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup (if desired for balance) into a cocktail shaker.
Fill the shaker with ice (about 3/4 full or roughly 1 cup) and secure the lid.
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and well-chilled.
Strain the cocktail through a fine strainer (or the shaker’s built-in strainer) into the prepared glass. Serve either straight up in a chilled coupe or over fresh ice in a rocks glass per preference.
Garnish
Garnish with the remaining lime wedge on the rim or floated in the drink. Serve immediately.
