Garnish & Glass Prep
Cocktail
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the blanco tequila (2 oz), triple sec (1 oz), fresh lime juice (1 oz) and agave syrup (0.5 oz).
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker exterior feels very cold and slightly frosty.
Strain and serve
Double-strain the mixture (using the shaker's strainer and a fine mesh strainer if available) into the prepared salted glass over fresh ice if serving on the rocks, or without ice for a chilled, neat presentation.
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally express a lime twist over the drink to release aromatics before garnishing.
