Garnish & Finish

1 tbsp kosher salt or coarse sea salt (for rim)1 piece lime wedge (for rimming and garnish)1 piece lime wheel (optional garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare glass

Run the lime wedge around the rim of a chilled 6-8 oz rocks glass to moisten. Pour the salt onto a small plate, then dip the moistened rim into the salt and set the glass aside.

Mix

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 3/4 full). Add reposado tequila (2 oz), triple sec (1 oz), fresh lime juice (1 oz), simple syrup (1/2 oz), and 2 dashes of orange bitters to the shaker.

Shake

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.

Strain & Serve

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (if desired). Double-strain the cocktail into the glass over ice, or strain neat if you prefer a 6 oz pour without ice. Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim and serve immediately.

Garnish & Finish

If rimming with salt, ensure the rim is evenly coated. Use the reserved lime wedge to add an extra squeeze over the finished drink if the guest prefers a brighter lime accent.
