Cocktail

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rim (optional)

    If you prefer a rimmed glass, rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled rocks or coupe glass, then dip the rim into coarse salt or toasted shredded coconut spread on a small plate. Set the glass aside to dry briefly.

  2. 2

    Shake

    Add blanco tequila (2 oz), fresh lime juice (0.75 oz), fresh pineapple juice (1 oz), Cointreau (0.5 oz), agave syrup (0.5 oz), and orange bitters (2 dashes) into a cocktail shaker. If using the cream of coconut for a creamier Pacifico, add 0.25 oz now. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup).

  3. 3

    Vigorous shake

    Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is cold to the touch and the mixture is well-chilled and slightly diluted.

Serve

  1. 4

    Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared chilled glass over fresh ice (large cube or crushed, depending on preference) to remove small ice shards and any pulp. If you prefer no ice, strain into the chilled glass neat.

  2. 5

    Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a lime wheel (and/or a dehydrated citrus wheel) on the rim or placed on the drink.

  3. 6

    Serve immediately. Optionally present with a small straw for easy sipping.
