Cocktail

Garnish & Glass

Method

Prepare glass

1

Salt the rim

Rub a lime wedge around the lip of a rocks glass or coupe to moisten. Spread the coarse salt on a small plate and gently dip and twist the glass rim into the salt so it adheres evenly. Set the glass aside.

Mix cocktail

2

Fill a cocktail shaker with the measured ice (about 1 cup).

3

Add 2 oz blanco tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz triple sec (or Cointreau), and 0.5 oz agave syrup to the shaker.

4

Add 2 dashes of orange bitters if using; this adds subtle depth and rounds the citrus notes.

5

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and well chilled.

6

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (optional for on-the-rocks serving) or leave it empty for a neat/coupe serving.

7

Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice (or neat into a chilled coupe) to remove small ice chips and any pulp.

8

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
