Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    If desired, chill a rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with serving ice to cool while you mix the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Combine ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, pour 2 oz reposado tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

  3. 3

    Add ice and shake

    Add about 1 cup of ice to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.

  4. 4

    Strain and serve

    Discard the ice from the chilled rocks glass if used. Add 1/2 cup fresh ice to the glass (or serve neat if preferred). Double-strain the cocktail into the glass over the ice using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to catch any small shards.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils of a lime wheel or twist over the drink and drop it into the glass or perch it on the rim. Serve immediately.
