Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Glass

    Run a lime wedge around the rim of your glass. Dip the rim in coarse sea salt to coat it evenly. Set the glass aside.

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, agave syrup, and fresh grapefruit juice.

  3. 3

    Add Fresh Basil

    Tear the basil leaves into smaller pieces and add them to the shaker. This will release their aromatic oils.

  4. 4

    Shake Well

    Fill the shaker with ice cubes and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds to chill and mix the ingredients thoroughly.

Serving

  1. 5

    Strain the Mixture

    Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the mixture into the prepared glass filled with fresh ice cubes.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a fresh basil leaf or a lime wedge on the rim for added flair.
