Moisten the outer rim of a chilled margarita glass of the lime wedge. Spread the salt on a shallow plate and dip the glass in the salt, covering it with a light band. Set the glass aside.

Combine all the ingredients except the remaining lime wedge. Pour into the prepared glass and garnish with a lime wedge.
