Method
- If desired, moisten the rim of a small serving glass with fresh lime juice, then dip it into coarse salt to coat.
- In a large glass or cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, ginger beer, simple syrup, and ice. Stir vigorously. Do not shake with a lid on, as the carbonation in the ginger beer may cause it to erupt.
- Pour the liquid (leaving the ice behind) into the prepared serving glass filled with a few ice cubes. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately. For additional servings, repeat or multiply the ingredients as needed.
💡 Tips
- Use a good quality 100% agave tequila for the best flavor.
- For a sweeter drink, add a little more simple syrup to taste.
- If you don't have a cocktail shaker, a large glass and a spoon work perfectly.
