Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
If you prefer a salted rim, pour 1 tsp of fine or smoked salt onto a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass, then dip the rim lightly into the salt. Add 3 ice cubes to the glass and set aside.
Combine ingredients
Add 2 oz Don Julio Reposado, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.
Shake
Fill the shaker with about 1 cup of ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes cold and slightly frosted. This both chills and dilutes the cocktail to the correct level.
Strain & serve
Double-strain (or fine-strain if desired) the cocktail into the prepared rocks glass over the 3 ice cubes. This keeps tiny shards of ice and pulp out of the finished drink.
Garnish
Express a lime peel over the drink to release oils, run it around the rim if desired, and drop it into the glass or place a lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.
Notes
Adjust agave syrup to taste depending on the desired sweetness and the tequila's profile. For a slightly brighter citrus note, substitute part of the lime with a small splash (0.25 oz) of fresh orange juice.
