Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass (optional)

If you want a salted rim, run a lime wedge around the glass rim. Pour the coarse salt onto a small plate and dip the rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.

2

Combine and shake

Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 tbs agave syrup, and the ice (about 1 cup or enough to fill the shaker) into a cocktail shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels cold.

3

Strain and top

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (if not already filled). Strain the shaken mixture into the glass. Top with 2 oz club soda to add effervescence and lighten the drink.

4

Adjust sweetness

Taste and, if desired, stir gently and add an additional 1/4 tbs agave (about 0.25 tbs) to reach your preferred sweetness. Stir gently to combine.

5

Garnish and serve

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately with a short straw if desired.
