Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare the glass

If you want a salted rim, moisten the outside rim of a chilled rocks or coupe glass with a lime wedge, then dip the rim briefly into coarse salt or flaked sea salt so it adheres. Set the glass aside.

2

Combine ingredients

Add 2 oz Don Julio 1942, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz Grand Marnier, and 0.25 oz agave syrup to a cocktail shaker.

3

Shake

Fill the shaker with ice (large cubes or crushed). Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.

4

Strain and serve

Double-strain the mixture into the prepared chilled rocks or coupe glass over one large ice cube (or a few fresh cubes). Alternatively, serve neat in a chilled coupe without ice if preferred.

5

Garnish

Express the oils of an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist over the glass and giving it a firm snap so the oils spray onto the surface. Rub the twist on the glass rim (optional) and drop it into the drink as garnish.

6

Adjust sweetness (optional)

Taste and, if desired, add an additional 0.125–0.25 oz agave syrup for more sweetness. Stir gently to incorporate if you add extra syrup.
