1
Salt the rim (optional)
If you want a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the outer edge of the glass, then dip the rim into coarse salt placed on a small plate until evenly coated. Set the glass aside to chill briefly.

2
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice (about 1 cup).
3
Add 2 oz Jose Cuervo Tradicional Reposado tequila to the shaker.
4
Pour in 0.75 oz fresh lime juice and 0.5 oz orange liqueur.
5
If you prefer a slightly sweeter cocktail, add 0.25 oz agave syrup. This balances acidity but is optional.
6
Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for about 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is cold and well-chilled.

7
If serving 'on the rocks', fill the chilled glass with fresh ice. Strain the cocktail from the shaker into the prepared glass. If serving straight up, double-strain into the chilled glass without ice.
8
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally, lightly express a lime peel over the drink for added aroma before dropping it in.
9
Serve immediately.
