Cocktail

2 oz blanco tequila3/4 oz Fresh lime juice3/4 oz orange liqueur (Cointreau or triple sec)1/4 oz agave syrup (1:1 simple agave)6 cubes ice (for shaking)

1 tsp coarse salt (optional, for rim)1 piece lime wheel or wedge4 cubes ice (for serving)

Method

Cocktail

Combine ingredients

Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.75 oz orange liqueur, and 0.25 oz agave syrup to a cocktail shaker.

Add ice and shake

Fill the shaker with about 6 ice cubes, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker feels cold and slightly frosty.

Prepare serving glass (optional salt rim)

If salting the rim, run a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass, then dip the rim into a small plate with about 1 tsp coarse salt to coat evenly.

Strain and serve

Fill the prepared glass with 4 ice cubes (if serving on the rocks). Double-strain the shaken cocktail through a fine strainer (or single strainer if you don't have one) into the glass to remove small ice shards and pulp. If you prefer it straight up, strain into a chilled coupe without ice.

Garnish & finish

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
