  2. Prepare your glass by running a lime wedge around its rim and dipping it into a shallow dish filled with salt. Set aside.
  3. In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine tequila blanco, freshly squeezed lime juice, and cinnamon simple syrup. Shake well until chilled.
  4. Strain the mixture into the prepared glass. Garnish with a lime twist or wheel.
