Method
Cocktail
Prep glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass to moisten. Dip the rim into a shallow plate of coarse salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
Mix
In a cocktail shaker, add 1 cup of ice, 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz simple syrup (or agave).
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for about 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty and the ingredients are well chilled and diluted.
Strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared salted glass over fresh ice (if serving on the rocks) or without ice (if serving straight up) using the shaker strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and pulp.
Garnish
Float or clip a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
