1
Prepare glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass. Dip the rim into a small plate of coarse salt or Tajín to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
2
Build the cocktail
In a shaker, add 1 cup of ice, 2 oz reposado tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.75 oz Grand Marnier (or preferred high-quality orange liqueur), and 0.5 oz agave syrup. Secure the shaker lid.
3
Shake
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted on the outside. This chills and dilutes the drink to the proper balance.
4
Strain and finish
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice (or serve neat in the chilled glass if preferred). Optionally float an extra 0.25–0.5 oz Grand Marnier on top for a richer, more aromatic 'Cadillac' finish.
5
Garnish and serve
Garnish with the lime wedge on the rim and an orange twist for aroma. Serve immediately.
