Cocktail

Method

Preparation

1

Chill glass

If desired, place a rocks or coupe glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water to chill while you mix the cocktail.

2

Rim (optional)

If you want a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip the rim into a shallow plate with coarse or kosher salt to coat lightly. Set the glass aside.

Mixing

3

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 3/4 full). Add 2 oz Patrón Silver Tequila, 0.5 oz Grand Marnier, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave nectar.

4

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled. This both chills and dilutes the drink to balance flavors.

5

Discard ice/water from the chilled glass if used. Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer or the shaker strainer into the chilled glass over fresh ice (for a rocks presentation) or neat (no ice) in a coupe.

Finish & Garnish

6

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim or floated on the drink. Serve immediately.
