Garnish & Glass Preparation

Method

Garnish & Glass Preparation

1

Rim the glass

Chill a martini (coupe) glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes. Rub the lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip the rim into the coarse salt spread on a small plate. Set the glass aside.

Cocktail

2

Combine ingredients

Add the tequila, Cointreau (or triple sec), fresh lime juice, and simple syrup into a cocktail shaker. If using egg white for a silky texture, add the egg white now.

3

Dry shake (if using egg white)

If you added egg white, seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and build foam.

4

Shake with ice

Add ice to the shaker (about 6–8 cubes). Seal and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and slightly frosty.

5

Fine strain

Double-strain the cocktail (using a Hawthorne or built-in strainer and a fine mesh strainer) into the prepared chilled, salted martini glass to remove ice shards and ensure a smooth texture.

6

Finish & garnish

If desired, gently float 0.25 oz of orange liqueur on top for an aromatic note. Express a bit of lime zest over the top to release oils, then drop a lime wheel or place a lime wedge on the rim for garnish. Serve immediately.
