Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass (optional)
If you prefer a salted rim, pour the coarse salt onto a small plate. Rub the rim of a rocks or coupe glass with a lime wedge, then gently dip the rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the reposado tequila, fresh lime juice, agave syrup, and orange liqueur.
Add ice and shake
Add a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup cubed) to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.
Strain and serve
Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice if using a rocks glass (or leave empty for a coupe). Double-strain the cocktail into the glass using a fine mesh strainer or the shaker's built-in strainer to remove small ice chips and any pulp.
Garnish
Express the oils from the fresh orange twist over the drink by holding it skin-side down and giving it a firm twist, then drop the twist into the glass as a garnish.
Serve immediately. Sip and enjoy responsibly.
