Cocktail

2 oz blanco (silver) tequila3/4 oz Fresh lime juice1/2 oz agave nectar (100% agave)1/2 oz Cointreau or triple sec2 dashes orange bitters1 cup ice (for shaking)1/2 cup ice (for serving - optional)1 each lime wheel or twist (garnish)1 tsp coarse salt (for rimming - optional)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass (optional)

If you want a salted rim, run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass and dip the rim into a small plate of coarse salt. Set the glass aside.

Combine ingredients

Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave nectar, 0.5 oz Cointreau (or triple sec), and 2 dashes orange bitters into a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with roughly 1 cup of ice. Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until well-chilled and the shaker exterior becomes frosty.

Strain and serve

If serving over ice, fill the prepared glass with 1/2 cup fresh ice and double-strain the cocktail into the glass. Alternatively, fine-strain into the prepared chilled coupe for a neat serving.

Garnish

Finish with a lime wheel or a twist on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately.
