    Ingredients
      

    • 3 ounces tequila
    • 2 ounces simple syrup see notes below
    • 1 ounce triple sec
    • 1 ounce lime juice - freshly squeezed
    • 1 ounce Cointreau
    • coarse salt - optional

    Instructions
     

    • Slice a couple of small slices through the center of the lime before I squeeze the lime for it's juice. Then I have a pretty garnish. This is optional.
    • Pour all of the ingredients (not the salt) into a one cup measuring cup. Stir.
    • Sprinkle salt into a sauce so that it will hit the rim of your glass when you dip it down.
    • Take a bit of your leftover lime and run it around the rim of your cocktail glass.
    • Flip glass and go straight down, rim first, and dip it into the sea salt.
    • Flip it over again and fill the glass with ice so that you don't knock off any of the salt.
    • Fill up your glass and garnish with the lime.

    Notes

    To make a simple syrup add ¼ cup coconut sugar and ¼ cup water to a small saucepan.
    Bring to a boil and let cool.
    This will give you 4 ounces of simple syrup.
