Prepare glass

Choose a rocks or coupe glass. Run the lime wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into coarse salt to coat half to three-quarters of the rim. Set the glass aside.

Strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared salted glass over fresh ice (if using a rocks glass) or neat into the chilled coupe. If you strained over fresh ice, add 1–2 large ice cubes.
