2 oz tequila

Instructions

To rim the glass, our some coarse salt on a plate and cut a lime wedge. Rub it around the edge of the glass and dip into the salt to fully coat.

Notes

For homemade simple syrup: Dissolve 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and then let simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool for at least 30 minutes. Strain into a glass jar and store in the fridge for about a month.
