Other Tequila Recipe

Rim the Glass

If desired, rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass and dip the rim into a shallow dish of salt or smoked salt so the rim is evenly coated. Set glass aside.

Fill a cocktail shaker with a handful of ice to chill while you measure ingredients.

Combine Ingredients

Into the chilled cocktail shaker add 2 tbs reposado tequila, 1 tbs blanco tequila, 0.5 tbs agave syrup, 0.75 tbs fresh lime juice, 1 tbs fresh grapefruit juice, 0.5 tbs orange liqueur, and 0.25 tsp yellow chartreuse (optional).

Shake

Fill the shaker the rest of the way with ice, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted.

Strain

Discard ice from the prepared glass (if used to chill) and add fresh large ice cubes or crushed ice. Double-strain the shaken cocktail into the glass over the fresh ice to remove small ice shards and pulp.

Garnish with a grapefruit twist or a lime wheel placed on the rim. Optionally express the grapefruit peel over the drink to release oils, then rub the peel on the glass rim for aroma.

Serve immediately. Sip and note the interplay of the rounded reposado, bright blanco, citrus, and the subtle herbal lift if chartreuse was used.
