Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it.

Dip the rim of the glass into a shallow plate of sugar, rotating it to ensure an even coating.

Set the glass aside.

In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes to fill it halfway.

Pour the silver tequila, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and simple syrup over the ice.

Secure the lid on the shaker.

Shake vigorously for about 20-30 seconds. The shaker should feel cold to the touch, ensuring the ingredients are well-chilled.

Strain the mixture into your prepared glass, ensuring no ice cubes transfer into the glass.

The sugar rim will add a sweet contrast to the tartness of the lemon as you sip.

For an extra touch of elegance and flavor, lightly zest a fresh lemon over the top of the cocktail.

Optionally, you can add a lemon wedge to the rim as a garnish.

Your Tequila Lemon Drop is now ready to be enjoyed. Sip and savor the balance of sweet, tart, and the boldness of tequila in this refreshing cocktail.
