Method
Prep the glass
Salt rim
Take a coupe or rocks glass and run the lime wedge around the outer rim of the glass (or the entire lip, depending on style). Spread the coarse salt on a small plate. Dip the wet rim into the salt and gently twist to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
Mix the drink
Add ice to a cocktail shaker until roughly 2/3 full (about 1 cup).
Pour 2 oz Seedlip Notas de Agave into the shaker.
Add 1 oz house sour mix. (If making house sour: combine 1 part fresh lime juice, 1 part fresh lemon juice and 1 part simple syrup; strained and chilled.)
Add 0.5 oz fresh lime juice for brightness and 0.5 oz orange cordial (or nonalcoholic orange liqueur substitute) for the orange note typical in a margarita.
Add 0.25 oz agave syrup to round and balance acidity; adjust to taste if you prefer sweeter.
Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold and properly diluted.
Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice if serving on the rocks (or leave empty for upserved coupe style). Strain the cocktail through a fine strainer into the glass.
Finish & Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim or floated in the drink. Optionally express a lime peel over the top for aromatic oils.
Serve immediately. Recommend tasting and adjusting: add 0.25 oz more agave if too tart, or 0.25 oz more sour mix if it needs more brightness.
