Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass (optional salted rim)

If you want a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass, then dip the rim into a plate with the coarse salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.

2

Shake

Fill a cocktail shaker with the ice. Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, and 0.5 oz orange liqueur. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled (shaker should feel very cold).

3

Strain

Use a Hawthorne or fine strainer to double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass. For a rocks presentation, strain over fresh ice; for up or coupe, serve without ice.

Garnish

4

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