Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
If you prefer a salted or tajin rim, rub the outside rim of a chilled rocks or coupe glass with a lime wedge, then dip the rim into a shallow plate with coarse salt or tajin. Set the glass aside.
Combine ingredients
Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Pour in 2 oz El Tequileno Blanco tequila, 0.75 oz Midori, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave syrup.
Shake
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled.
Strain and serve
Double-strain (or fine-strain) the cocktail into the prepared chilled glass over fresh ice if serving on the rocks, or without ice if serving up. Use a fine mesh strainer to catch any small ice shards or pulp.
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally, express a lime peel over the drink to add aroma before dropping it in.
Adjust sweetness: taste and, if desired, add an additional 0.25 oz agave syrup for a sweeter profile or reduce Midori by 0.25 oz to make the tequila more forward.
