    Rub the rim of a chilled cocktail glass with a lime wedge to moisten it. Dip the rim in coarse salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

    In a shaker, combine the tequila, fresh lime juice, triple sec, and simple syrup. Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid.

    Shake the Cocktail

    Shake the shaker vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Garnish

    Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
