1
Combine and shake
Add 2 oz tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz Grand Marnier, 0.5 oz agave syrup, and 2 dashes orange bitters into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker about two-thirds full with ice (≈1 cup).
2
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.
3
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail through a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe or rocks glass over fresh ice (if serving on the rocks) or without ice for a straight-up presentation.

4
Express the oils of an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down above the glass and giving it a quick pinch, then rub the rim with the twist and drop it into the glass or rest a lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.
