Method

Prepare Glass

Rim the glass

Run a cut lime wedge around the outer rim of a rocks or coupe glass. Spread the coarse salt (or Tajín) on a small plate and gently press the wet rim into the salt to coat. Tap off excess. Set the glass aside in the freezer or fill with serving ice to chill while preparing the cocktail.

Make Cocktail

Add 2 oz Lunazul tequila, 1 oz Cointreau, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave syrup into a cocktail shaker.

Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosty. This dilutes and chills the drink to the correct balance.

Discard the chilling ice from the glass if you used ice to chill it. Add 4 ice cubes to the glass if serving on the rocks; if serving up, leave the glass empty.

Double-strain or fine-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass: for a rocks pour, pour over the ice; for a coupe, strain without ice.

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