Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass (optional salted rim)
If you prefer a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass, then dip the rim into a small plate of coarse salt to coat lightly. Set the glass aside.
Combine ingredients
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in 2 oz El Jimador Silver Tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 1 oz triple sec. If you prefer a slightly sweeter, smoother cocktail, add 1/2 tsp simple syrup.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the ingredients are well mixed and chilled.
Strain and serve
Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice (for a rocks presentation) or without ice (for a straight-up presentation).
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.
