Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare the glass
Place smoked salt on a small plate. Run a cut lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass to moisten, then dip the rim into the smoked salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
- 2
Build and chill
Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker with large ice. Add reposado tequila, blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, orange liqueur, agave syrup, Yellow Chartreuse, and orange bitters.

Stir or shake
For a brighter, slightly diluted texture, shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker frosts. For a smoother, silkier texture with less aeration, stir with a bar spoon for 20–30 seconds until properly chilled and diluted. Both methods are acceptable; choose based on preferred texture.

Strain
Double strain the cocktail into the prepared chilled glass over one large clear ice cube (rocks glass) or without ice (coupe) depending on service preference. Use a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to catch small shards of ice and pulp.

Garnish and finish
Garnish with a lime wheel perched on the rim. Optionally, express an orange peel over the surface by holding a flamed peel briefly over the drink and squeezing to release oils, then discard or drop the peel in. Serve immediately.
