Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker

Ingredients
  

  • 100 ml Tequila (better if it is a quality tequila)
  • 50 ml Cointreau
  • 50 ml Lime juice
  • Salt
  • Ice

Instructions
 

  • We begin by frosting the glasses. With a small piece of lime, we moisten the edges of the glasses, slightly. In a plate, put enough salt according to the diameter of the mouth of the glass, and press lightly on the salt. So that you get a thin line of salt on the rim of the glass.

Notes

NOTE: The ideal way to make this cocktail is to use a cocktail shaker to mix all the ingredients well, but if you don't have one, you can always use an airtight jar.
