Lime wheel for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip it into coarse sea salt to coat the outer edge.

Step 3: Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar (if using) into the shaker.
Step 4: Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.
Step 5: Strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice cubes.
Step 6: Garnish with a lime wheel and serve immediately.
Notes
Always use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. For a lower calorie version, omit the agave nectar.
