Jose Cuervo Tradicional Blanco Recipe

Prepare glass

Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass. Dip the rim into coarse salt spread on a small plate to coat. Set the glass aside.

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Jose Cuervo Tradicional Blanco, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and 0.5 oz agave syrup. Add a generous handful of ice (about 6 oz by volume) to the shaker.

Shake

Firmly seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker becomes cold and slightly frosted. This chills, dilutes, and integrates the ingredients.

Strain and serve

Fine-strain or double-strain the cocktail into the prepared salted-rim glass. If serving as a straight Margarita-style drink, serve neat in the glass. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.

If you prefer a lighter, fizzy version, fill a highball glass with fresh ice (about 4 oz), pour the shaken mixture over the ice, then top with 2 oz club soda. Gently stir once to integrate. Garnish with a lime wedge.
