Method
3 clear steps
- 1
Chill the serving glass. If making the optional half salt rim, moisten half the rim with a drop of the measured lime juice and dip that edge into salt before mixing the drink.
- 2
Pour the tequila, triple sec and remaining lime juice into the shaker. Add ice, close and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds, until cold.
- 3
Strain into the prepared chilled glass, keeping the ice in the shaker. This version is served without ice in the glass.
