Method
Prep
Salt the rim
Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a chilled rocks glass (or margarita glass) to moisten. Pour the coarse salt onto a small plate and gently press the rim into the salt, rotating to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
Mixing
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice (about 3/4 full).
Add 2 oz Cabo Wabo tequila, 0.75 oz Grand Marnier, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup (omit the syrup if you prefer a drier cocktail) to the shaker.
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and well-chilled.
Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (a large rock or several cubes). Strain the shaken cocktail into the glass over the ice using a fine strainer if available to remove small shards.
Garnish & Finish
Garnish with a lime wheel or a lime twist on the rim. Optionally express a lime zest over the drink to release oils for extra aroma.
Serve immediately with a short straw or stirring pick.
