1
Chill glass
Place a margarita or rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes, or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill and then discard before serving.
2
Prepare glass rim
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of the chilled glass. Pour the coarse salt onto a small plate and gently press the moistened rim into the salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
3
Measure ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Corazón Reposado tequila, 0.5 oz Grand Marnier, 0.5 oz organic agave nectar, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice. Using fresh-squeezed citrus yields the best brightness and balance.
4
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with enough cubed ice to mostly fill the tin (about 3/4 full). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted.
5
Strain and serve
Discard the ice from the chilled, salted-rim glass if you used ice to chill. Fill the glass with fresh ice (about 3/4 cup). Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice to remove any small ice shards and pulp.
6
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and, if desired, a lemon twist for an added citrus aroma. Serve immediately.
