First, take a nice looking Lime and chop it into 3 parts, cutting a Lime Wheel out of its centre
Next, pour some good quality carse salt onto a plate, so that it occupies an area larger than the rim of the glass
Now, hold the glass upside down by its stem, and run one piece of the chopped lime lightly around the rim. This will prevent the juice from running down the edge of the glass
Lightly dip the glass into the salt on the plate, so that it is evenly distributed around the rim. Then, give the base of the glass a light tap on your work surface to dislodge any loose grains, and throw out any that end up inside it
Cut a slice from the edge into the centre of your Lime Wheel, and place it on the rim of the glass
Now, we're ready to rock n roll. Pour 50ml of 100% Agave Tequila into the cocktail shaker, followed by 25ml of Triple Sec, and 25ml of freshly squeezed Lime Juice
Add around 40g of Ice Cubes, then place the lid on top, and give it a ruddy good shake, until the shaker becomes cold
Take the glass to your preferred imbibing location, and strain the contents of the shaker into it
Sip leisurely while dreaming of Mexico
