Method
Glass Preparation
- 1
Rim the glass
Run a lime wedge around the lip of a rocks or coupe glass. Pour salt onto a small plate and gently dip the rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.
Mixing the Cocktail
- 2
Combine ingredients
Fill a cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with ice. Add 2 oz Altos blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice (about 1 large lime), 0.5 tablespoon agave nectar, 0.5 oz orange liqueur if using, and 0.5 oz cold water or club soda. The small addition of water/club soda helps distribute the agave and rounds the drink without adding sugar.

Shake
Cap the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes frosty and well-chilled. This both chills and slightly dilutes the cocktail for balance.
