1
Put the smoked salt on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass to moisten. Dip the rim lightly into the smoked salt to coat about half to three-quarters of the rim. Set glass aside.

2
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 1 cup of ice, 2 oz reposado tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.75 oz Cointreau, 0.5 oz agave nectar and 2 dashes orange bitters.
3
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosty. This dilutes and integrates the agave and citrus.

4
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice (a large single ice cube or a few medium cubes). If you prefer a slightly less diluted drink, strain without additional ice into the chilled glass.
5
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim and, if using, a thin orange peel twist expressed over the drink and dropped in. Serve immediately.
