Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare glass (optional salted rim)
If you want a salted rim, run a lime wedge around the outer edge of a rocks glass, then dip the rim lightly into the coarse sea salt placed on a small plate. Set glass aside.

Mix ingredients
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add 2 oz Don Julio Reposado tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, and 0.5 oz orange liqueur to the shaker.

Shake
Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.

Strain and serve
Fill the prepared rocks glass with fresh ice (or a single large ice cube). Double-strain the cocktail into the glass to remove small ice shards and any pulp.

Garnish
Express the oils from a fresh orange twist over the drink by holding it over the glass and giving it a quick pinch, then drop the twist in. Add a lime wheel or wedge on the rim.
Notes

Taste and adjust sweetness with additional agave syrup (0.25 oz increments) if desired. For a slightly brighter profile, increase lime juice by 0.25 oz. Use fresh-squeezed citrus for best results.
