Method

Glass & Garnish

1

Prepare the rim

Pour the salt onto a small plate, creating an even layer. Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a rocks or coupe glass to wet it evenly. Dip the wet rim into the salt, twisting to coat the edge. Set the glass aside.

2

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (about 1 cup) and set aside if serving on the rocks. If serving up (no ice in glass), skip adding ice to the glass.

3

Slice the remaining lime wedge for garnish and set aside.

Cocktail

4

Measure and combine

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz orange liqueur, 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1 medium lime), and 0.5 oz agave syrup. The agave balances tartness; adjust to taste.

5

Add ice and shake

Add approximately 1 cup of ice to the shaker (enough to fill). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker feels cold and frosty. This chills and dilutes the drink to the proper balance.

6

Strain and serve

If serving on the rocks: double strain (or single strain) the cocktail into the salt-rimmed glass over fresh ice. If serving up: fine strain into the chilled, salted coupe or martini glass without ice. Garnish with the lime wedge on the rim or floated.

7

Optional: For a slightly frothier texture, give a very quick dry shake (no ice) for 5 seconds before adding ice and shaking again.
