Method
Cocktail Base
- 1
Juice and measure
Juice fresh limes and an orange/grapefruit as needed. Measure 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz fresh orange juice, 0.5 oz agave nectar, and 0.5 oz orange liqueur into a cocktail shaker.
- 2
Add bitters
Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to the shaker to add aromatic depth and a subtle bitter edge that balances the citrus and agave.
- 3
Shake with ice
Fill the shaker with ice (enough to nearly fill). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted. This chills and dilutes the cocktail to the proper strength.

Garnish
Express the oils of a grapefruit twist over the drink (twist the peel with the outside facing down over the glass) and drop it in. Add a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Optionally, add one more tiny dash of bitters onto the top of the drink for aroma.
