Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass (optional)
If you prefer a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the edge of a rocks or coupe glass. Pour the coarse salt onto a small plate and press the glass rim lightly into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.
Combine ingredients
In a shaker, add the Astral Silver Tequila (2 oz), fresh lime juice (0.75 oz), orange liqueur (0.5 oz), agave syrup (0.5 oz), and 2 dashes of orange bitters.
Shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold and the exterior frosts. This chills and slightly dilutes the cocktail to bring flavors into balance.
Strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice (if using a rocks glass) or serve neat in a chilled coupe. Use a fine mesh strainer in addition to the shaker strainer to remove small ice shards and pulp for a silky texture.
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally express a small strip of lime peel over the drink to release oils before dropping it in for extra aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy. This preparation highlights Astral Silver's bright, clean agave character balanced by citrus, orange warmth and a touch of sweetness.
