Step-by-step Guide

Method

  1. Put the ice cubes, lime juice, tequila and Cointreau in the shaker and stir well until the shaker is thoroughly cold.

To serve

  1. Wet the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and dip it upside-down in a saucer of salt so the salt sticks to the rim.
  2. Put a little ice in the glass and add the cocktail.
  3. Hang a lime slice on the glass as a garnish.
  4. As you drink, turn the glass so you taste the salt on the rim.
