Method
Rim & Prep
- 1
Prepare Rim
Combine coarse sea salt and finely grated grapefruit zest on a small shallow plate and mix so the zest evenly coats the salt.
- 2
Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a rocks or coupe glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into the salt-zest mixture, twisting to adhere. Set the glass aside.
Mixing the Buena Idea
- 3
Fill a cocktail shaker with the ice.
- 4
Add blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, fresh grapefruit juice, orange liqueur, and agave syrup to the shaker.
- 5
Add 2 dashes of grapefruit bitters.
- 6
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.
- 7
Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared glass over fresh ice (or neat into the chilled coupe if preferred).
- 8
Garnish with a thin grapefruit wheel or twist on the rim. Serve immediately.
