Ingredients
Scale

- 3 oz tequila blanco (silver)
- 2 oz orange liqueur (Triple Sec or Cointreau)

- 1.5 cups ice (adjust for consistency)
- Salt or sugar, for rimming (optional)

Instructions
- Rim your glasses with salt or sugar using a lime wedge to moisten the edge.

- Garnish with lime or strawberry, and serve immediately.
Notes
For a stronger drink, reduce ice slightly or add an extra half-ounce of tequila.
Make it non-alcoholic by swapping tequila and liqueur with orange juice and soda water.
For a spicy twist, blend in 1–2 slices of fresh jalapeño
