Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a coupe or a rocks glass by filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail (or place it in the freezer for 5–10 minutes). If using a rocks glass, discard the ice water just before straining and add 4 fresh ice cubes for serving.
Add ingredients to shaker
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Código 1530 Rosa tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz crème de cassis, 0.5 oz agave syrup, 0.5 oz fresh grapefruit juice, and 2 dashes orange bitters.
Dry shake (optional)
If you prefer a slightly creamier texture and to better integrate the liqueur, close the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 6–8 seconds to emulsify the ingredients (optional step).
Shake with ice
Add 6 ice cubes to the shaker. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is very cold and well-chilled.
Strain
If serving in a chilled coupe: double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe using a Hawthorne and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards. If serving on the rocks: strain into the prepared rocks glass over 4 fresh ice cubes.
Top with sparkling water
Float or gently pour 1 oz dry sparkling water or club soda onto the cocktail to add lift and a light effervescence. Stir once gently with a bar spoon to integrate without losing fizz.
Garnish and serve
Garnish with a thin grapefruit wheel or an expressed grapefruit twist over the drink. Optionally add an edible flower or a small mint sprig for aromatic appeal. Serve immediately.
Notes on balance
Taste before garnishing. If the drink needs more acidity, add up to 0.25 oz more lime juice. If it needs more sweetness, add up to 0.25 oz more agave syrup. Adjust crème de cassis in 0.25 oz increments to deepen color and berry note.
