- Jigger
- spoon

Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila
- 1 oz Fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz Triple sec or orange liqueur

- Ice cubes
- Lime wheel or orange slice for garnish
Instructions
- In a shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and orange juice with ice.

- Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with ice.

Notes
For a less sweet version, adjust the amount of grenadine or use a light agave syrup instead. To serve as a frozen cocktail, blend the tequila, lime juice, triple sec, and orange juice with ice before layering with grenadine.
