    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 ½ oz. fresh lime juice
    • 1 ½ oz. silver tequila
    • ¾ oz. triple sec
    • ½ oz. agave syrup
    • lime wedge
    • granulated sugar
    • ice cubes

    Instructions

    1. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a glass and then dip the rim onto a plate covered with sugar to coat.
    2. Fill glass with ice cubes.
    3. Add the lime juice, tequila, triple sec, and agave syrup to a cocktail shaker and shake until well blended.
    4. Pour over the ice and enjoy!

    Notes

     If you don't like your drinks sweet, use just ¼ oz agave syrup and coat the rim of your glass with salt instead of sugar.
