Method
Prepare Glass
- 1
Rim the glass
Run a fresh lime wedge around the outer rim of a chilled coupe or rocks glass (The Grand Lux is traditionally served in a large coupe or margarita glass). Pour the coarse sea salt onto a small plate and lightly press the moistened rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.
Mix Cocktail
- 2
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz reposado tequila, 1 oz orange liqueur, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz fresh orange juice and 0.5 oz agave syrup. Add a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup cubed).
- 3
Shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is very cold and a slight frost forms.
- 4
Strain
Double-strain (using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer if available) into the prepared glass over fresh ice if serving on the rocks, or into the chilled, salted coupe without ice for a neat presentation.
Garnish & Serve
- 5
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and an orange slice or lime twist laid across the glass. Optionally express a strip of lime zest over the top to release oils. Serve immediately.
