Method
Preparation
Salt the rim (optional)
Run the cut edge of the fresh lime wedge around the rim of a chilled rocks or coupe glass. Pour the coarse sea salt onto a small plate and gently press the moistened rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.
Measure and combine
In a cocktail shaker add 2 oz Clase Azul Plata tequila, 0.5 oz Louis Alexandre Grand Marnier, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz agave syrup (if you prefer a slightly sweeter, rounder profile).
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) then secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, or until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosty on the outside.
Strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice (for a rocks presentation) or without ice into the chilled coupe if you prefer it neat. Use a fine mesh strainer along with the shaker strainer to remove any fine ice shards and pulp from the lime.
Garnish and finish
Express the oils from the thin orange peel by holding it over the drink and giving it a quick twist, then rub the peel on the glass rim if you like an orange aroma. Add a lime wheel or twist on the rim. Optionally drop the lime wedge into the drink for extra aroma and a visual accent.
Serve immediately and enjoy. Adjust sweetness by varying the agave syrup from 0 to 0.5 oz to taste.
