Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass. Dip the rim into salt to coat it evenly, shaking off any excess salt.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, 1 oz of Cointreau or Triple Sec, and 0.5 oz of simple syrup.

  3. 3

    Shake with Ice

    Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into the prepared cocktail glass. You can serve it straight up or over fresh ice in a rocks glass.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for an added touch.
