Tequila Blanco Cocktail
Alternative Citrus Twist (optional)
Method
Tequila Blanco Cocktail
Prepare the glass
If you prefer a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip the rim into the kosher salt placed on a small plate. Set the glass aside.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz tequila blanco, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz Cointreau, and 0.25 oz agave syrup.
Add ice and shake
Add a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels cold.
Strain and serve
Double-strain the contents into the prepared rocks glass over fresh ice (or serve neat in a coupe if preferred).
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
Alternative Citrus Twist (optional)
If using the grapefruit twist, add 0.5 oz fresh grapefruit juice to the shaker along with the lime juice before shaking. Express an orange twist over the finished drink and drop it in as a garnish for a brighter citrus aroma.
