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.

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).
