Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

If you prefer a salted rim, pour the salt onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the glass rim and dip the rim briefly into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.

2

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup).

3

Add 2 oz reposado tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz fresh grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, 0.25 oz Aperol and 2 dashes orange bitters to the shaker.

4

Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and well chilled.

5

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (if using a rocks glass) or leave neat for a coupe. Strain the shaken cocktail into the glass.

6

Express the oils from a grapefruit twist over the surface of the drink by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a quick squeeze, then drop the twist or float a wheel on top as garnish.

7

Serve immediately. Estimated balance: bright citrus from lime and grapefruit, a subtle bitter-sweetness from Aperol, and the warm, mellow notes of reposado tequila.
