Method

Prep

Chill a rocks or coupe glass in the freezer or fill with ice water to cool while you prepare the cocktail.

Place the fine sea salt on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the chilled glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.

Mixing

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add the tequila, blue curaçao, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, and 2 dashes of orange bitters.

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with crushed or cubed ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and the exterior is frosted.

Strain

Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh crushed ice (or a large ice cube if preferred). The blue curaçao will tint the drink a bright blue while the agave balances the lime.

Garnish & Finish

Float a lime wheel on the surface of the cocktail. If using, express the oils from the flamed orange peel over the drink by warming the peel with a lighter or match near the surface and gently squeezing so a light spray of orange oil passes over the cocktail, then discard or drop peel into the glass.

Serve immediately with a short stirring straw. Recommend tasting and adjusting: add a touch more agave (0.25 oz) if you prefer sweeter, or a small squeeze more lime if you want brighter acidity.
