Ingredients

  • 6 ounces tequila
  • 4 ounces simple syrup - see recipe below
  • 2 ounce triple sec
  • 2 ounce lime juice - fresh squeezed
  • 2 ounce Cointreau
  • sea salt or salt - coarse, for the rim, optional

Instructions

  • I 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 measurements into a least a two cup sized measuring cup (not the salt). Stir.
  • Sprinkle some 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.
  • Go straight down, rim first, and dip it into the sea salt.
  • Flip it over and fill the glass with ice carefully so that you don't knock off any of the salt.
  • Fill up your glass and garnish with the lime.
