Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
Place an old-fashioned glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker add 2 oz añejo tequila, 0.5 oz reposado tequila (optional), 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, 0.25 oz orange liqueur, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker about two-thirds with ice. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the outside is frosted.
Strain and garnish
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared old-fashioned glass over the large ice cube. Express a lime peel over the drink or place a lime wheel on the rim as garnish.
Serve
Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the aged tequila's nuances balanced by citrus, gentle sweetness, and bitters.
