Method
Cocktail
- 1
Chill glass
If desired, place the rocks glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail (3–5 minutes). Discard ice water before pouring.

Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker add 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz fresh grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, and 0.5 oz orange liqueur.
- 3
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker about two-thirds full with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is cold to the touch and the exterior is frosted.

Strain
Double-strain the mixture through a Hawthorne strainer and fine mesh strainer into the chilled rocks glass over fresh large ice (or serve neat in a chilled coupe if preferred).

Garnish and serve
Express the oils from a grapefruit twist over the drink, then drop it in or place a grapefruit wedge on the rim and float a lime wheel. Serve immediately.
Ice & Glassware
- 6
Prepare and chill your chosen glass and fresh ice before finishing the cocktail so the drink stays cold without becoming diluted too quickly.
