Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Chill (optional)

    If you prefer a colder drink, place your serving glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prep the cocktail; discard the ice water before serving.

  2. 2

    Build the cocktail

    Add 60 ml Cazadores Silver, 15 ml Blue Curaçao, 15 ml triple sec, 22.5 ml agave syrup, and 30 ml fresh lime juice into a cocktail shaker.

  3. 3

    Add ice and shake

    Add ice to the shaker (about 1 cup). Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and well chilled. This both chills and dilutes the cocktail to balance the flavors.

  4. 4

    Prepare serving

    If serving on the rocks: fill a rocks glass with fresh ice. If serving neat/chilled: strain into the chilled coupe or martini glass.

  5. 5

    Strain & serve

    Double-strain (use a Hawthorne and a fine mesh strainer if available) the shaken mixture over the fresh ice in the rocks glass, or directly into the chilled coupe for a neat serve. This removes small ice shards for a smoother texture.

Garnish & Rim (optional)

  1. 6

    Rim the glass (optional)

    If you want a salt rim, rub a cut lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip the rim into the 1 tsp kosher or coarse sea salt spread on a small plate. Tap off any excess.

  2. 7

    Garnish

    Finish with 1 lime wheel on the rim or floated on top of the cocktail. Serve immediately.
