Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass. Spread the sea salt (or smoked sea salt) on a small plate and dip the rim into the salt to coat evenly. Set glass aside.

2

Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz reposado tequila, 1 oz Cointreau (or triple sec), 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave syrup. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) until roughly two-thirds full.

3

Shake

Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker feels very cold and slightly frosted.

4

Strain

Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice (if serving on the rocks) or without ice for a neat/coupe presentation.

5

Optional mezcal float

If using the smoky variation, gently pour 0.25 oz mezcal over the back of a bar spoon onto the finished cocktail to create a thin float.

6

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately. (Note: To make it a 'top shelf' Maritime Margarita as the menu suggests, use a higher-quality reposado or añejo tequila and charge the additional $3.50.)
