Cocktail

Garnish

Method

Prep

1

Optional salt rim

If you want a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the glass lip, then dip the rim into a shallow plate with the coarse salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside to dry briefly.

Build & shake

2

Add the reposado tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, fresh grapefruit juice, agave syrup, and Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.

3

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and secure the lid.

4

Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted on the outside.

Serve

5

Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice (or serve neat in a chilled coupe if you prefer). Use a fine mesh strainer in addition to the shaker's strainer to remove small ice shards and grapefruit pulp.

6

Express a grapefruit twist over the drink to release oils, then drop the twist or set a thin grapefruit slice on the rim as garnish.

7

Serve immediately.
