1
Prepare the Glass

Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup (if desired for sweetness).
3
Shake
Fill the shaker with ice and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

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