1
Rim the glass
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass. Spread the coarse salt or Tajín on a small plate and gently dip the rim into it so it picks up an even coating. Set the glass aside.

2
Add the blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, agave nectar, and orange liqueur to a cocktail shaker.
3
Fill the shaker with ice (enough to fill three-quarters) and cap it.
4
Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted on the outside.

5
Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh large ice cubes (or serve neat in a chilled coupe if preferred).
6
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally express a lime peel over the drink to add aromatic oils.
7
Serve immediately.
