Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Chill glass

    Place a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill the glass.

  2. 2

    Prepare rim (optional)

    If you prefer a salted or sugared rim, rub a lemon or lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip the rim into a shallow plate of coarse salt or sugar. Set the glass aside.

  3. 3

    Combine ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Patrón Silver tequila, 0.75 oz Patrón Citrónge, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz fresh lemon juice, and 0.25 oz agave syrup (use agave only if you prefer a slightly sweeter, rounder profile).

  4. 4

    Add ice and shake

    Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup) and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted on the outside.

  5. 5

    Strain and serve

    Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer and, if available, a fine mesh strainer into the chilled coupe or over fresh ice in a rocks glass, depending on your preference.

Garnish & Service

  1. 6

    Garnish with a lemon wheel or twist and a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
