1
Prepare the Glass
Start by preparing your glass. Take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Dip the rim into a plate of salt to coat it evenly, and set the glass aside.
2
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of triple sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the shaker.
3
Shake the Cocktail
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds, until the mixture is well chilled.
4
Strain and Serve
Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass filled with ice or straight up without ice, depending on your preference. Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass.
