Cocktail

Method

Prepare Glass

  1. 1

    Rim the glass

    Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or margarita glass. Dip the rim into a shallow dish of coarse salt or Tajín to coat evenly. Set glass aside.

Mix Cocktail

  1. 2

    Fill a cocktail shaker with 1 cup of ice.

  2. 3

    Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz triple sec, 2 oz fresh orange juice, 1.5 oz sweet & sour mix, and 0.5 oz fresh lime juice to the shaker.

  3. 4

    Secure the lid and dry-shake for 5 seconds (no ice) only if you want a slightly frothier texture; otherwise skip this step and proceed to shaking with ice.

  4. 5

    Shake vigorously with ice for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled (exterior becomes cold and slightly frosty).

  5. 6

    Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass. Serve over fresh ice (optional) or neat, depending on preference.

Garnish & Serve

  1. 7

    Garnish the drink with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim and an optional orange twist for aroma.

  2. 8

    Serve immediately. Sip and enjoy responsibly.
