Method
Prepare Glass
- 1
Optional salt rim
If you prefer a salted rim, rub a lemon wedge around the rim of a chilled martini or coupe glass. Dip the rim into a shallow plate with kosher or coarse salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside to dry while you mix the cocktail.
Mix Cocktail
- 2
Fill a cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with fresh ice cubes.
- 3
Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.75 oz limoncello, 0.5 oz Chambord, and 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice to the shaker.
- 4
If you prefer the drink slightly sweeter, add 0.25 oz simple syrup. (Adjust to taste.)
- 5
Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is well chilled and the mixture is slightly diluted.
Strain & Garnish
- 6
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared chilled martini or coupe glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any pulp from the lemon juice.
