Coarse kosher salt for the rim
Lime wheel for garnish
Ice cubes
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare your glass by rubbing a lime wedge around the rim and dipping it into coarse salt.
Step 2: Fill a cocktail shaker with fresh ice cubes.
Step 3: Add the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, and agave nectar (if using) to the shaker.
