Preparation

Rim the glass (optional)

If you want a salted or Tajín rim, run a lime wedge around the glass lip, then dip the rim into a shallow plate with coarse salt or Tajín. Set the glass aside.

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and well-chilled.

Strain

Double-strain (using the shaker's built-in strainer and a fine mesh strainer if available) into the prepared glass over fresh ice, or serve neat in a chilled coupe depending on preference.

Garnish

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
