Garnish & Glass Prep
Prepare the glass
Run the lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass to moisten. Spread the salt on a small plate and dip the moistened rim into the salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
Cocktail
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz triple sec, and 0.5 oz agave syrup.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is cold to the touch and the exterior is frosty.
Strain and serve
If serving up: double-strain the mixture into the prepared, non-iced glass using a Hawthorne or fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards. If serving on the rocks: fill the prepared glass with fresh ice and strain the cocktail over the ice.
Garnish
Express a lime wedge over the drink (squeeze and rub the oils across the surface) and drop the wedge into the glass or mount it on the rim.
Taste and adjust: if you prefer sweeter, stir in an additional 1/4 oz agave syrup; if you prefer more tartness, add 1/4 oz more lime juice and gently stir.
