Cocktail
- 1
Prepare glass
If desired, run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass and dip the rim into coarse salt to coat lightly. Fill the glass with fresh ice if serving on the rocks; if serving up, chill the glass in the freezer or fill with ice while you prepare the cocktail and discard before pouring.

Combine ingredients
Add 2 oz Querendon Blanco Tequila, 0.5 oz Grand Marnier, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave syrup to a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker about two-thirds with ice (roughly 3/4 to 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.

Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass: through the shaker strainer into the glass if serving on the rocks, or through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe if serving up. If serving on the rocks and the glass already contains ice, pour over the ice.

Garnish and finish
Express the oils of an orange twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a quick pinch, then drop the twist into the drink (or float a thin orange wheel). Serve immediately.

Taste and adjust: the blend of lime, agave and Grand Marnier should be balanced with the tequila. If the cocktail tastes too tart, add 0.25 oz more agave and stir; if too sweet, add 0.25 oz more lime and gently shake with ice again.
