Method

Prep

  1. 1

    If salting the rim: run a lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip the rim into a shallow plate with coarse salt. Set glass aside.

  2. 2

    Juice fresh limes to yield 1 oz (about one large lime) of lime juice. Strain to remove seeds and pulp if desired.

Mixing & Tableside Service

  1. 3

    Build in shaker

    Add 2 oz Exotico 100% blue agave tequila, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, 0.5 oz triple sec, 1 oz fresh lime juice and 0.25 oz simple syrup (if using) into the shaker.

  2. 4

    Add ice

    Fill the shaker with approximately 1 cup of fresh ice to chill and dilute properly.

  3. 5

    Shake

    Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds (until the shaker is well-chilled and you feel condensation).

  4. 6

    Tableside presentation

    Bring the closed shaker to the table. Open the shaker over the prepared glass and strain the cocktail into the glass (over fresh ice if serving on the rocks, or neat into a chilled coupe).

  5. 7

    Garnish & serve

    Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Present shaker and used mixing tools tableside if requested; explain ingredients if desired.
