1
Chill glass and prepare ingredients
Chill a 16 oz schooner by placing it in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice and cold water. Have all ingredients measured and ready, plus a standard shot glass for the inverted Grand Marnier shooter.
2
Mix the base
In a cocktail shaker, add 60 ml Espolón Reposado Tequila, 22 ml Cointreau, 15 ml fresh lime juice, and 15 ml agave nectar. Fill the shaker with ice to about 3/4 full.
3
Shake
Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and integrated.
4
Assemble
Fill the chilled 16 oz schooner with fresh ice (about 240 ml). Strain the shaken mixture into the glass over the ice.
5
Inverted Grand Marnier shooter
Pour 30 ml Grand Marnier into a standard shot glass. Invert the shot glass (mouth downward) and rest it on the rim of the schooner so the Grand Marnier drips into the cocktail as you sip.
6
Serve
Present the drink with the inverted Grand Marnier shooter. Allow the Grand Marnier to blend into the cocktail as you drink. Enjoy responsibly.
