Herradura Cocktail
Method
Herradura Cocktail
- 1
Prepare glass
Choose a coupe or rocks glass. Rub a grapefruit wedge or lime around the glass rim, then dip the rim lightly into a small plate of salt to coat the edge. Set the glass aside and chill briefly if desired.

Combine ingredients
Fill a cocktail shaker with enough ice to come halfway up the shaker. Pour in 2 oz reposado tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.75 oz fresh grapefruit juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup (1:1), 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.

Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and well-chilled, indicating proper dilution and integration.

Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared coupe or rocks glass using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any pulp. If serving on the rocks, fill the glass with fresh large ice and strain over it instead.

Garnish and serve
Express the oils of a grapefruit twist over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a quick squeeze, then rub the twist on the rim and drop it into the cocktail. Serve immediately.
