Fresh orange juice offers a natural sweetness.

Cut a lime wedge and rub it on the rim of the glass to help the salt stick.

Pour coarse salt on a plate, flip the glass upside down, and stick it in the salt, wiggling to get an even coating.

Squeeze juice from about three limes to get 2 ounces of fresh squeezed lime juice.

Cut an orange into smaller pieces and use a manual juicer to extract 1 ounce of fresh squeezed orange juice.

Take a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice about three-quarters of the way full.

Add 2 ounces of silver tequila (Don Julio Blanco) to the shaker.

Pour in the 1 ounce of orange juice and 2 ounces of lime juice into the shaker.

Add about 1 teaspoon of agave syrup to the shaker.

Secure the top of the shaker tightly and shake vigorously until cold.

Pour ice into the prepared glass and strain the mixture from the shaker into the glass.

Garnish with a lime wedge.
