Strain the mixture into the prepared glass, either over fresh ice or neat.
Garnish with a lime wedge and enjoy.
Pro Tips:
Use high-quality tequila, preferably 100% agave, for the best flavor.
If you like it sweeter, add a dash of simple syrup or agave nectar.
Try a frozen version by blending all ingredients with ice for a slushy texture.
