Method
Prepare Glass
Rim the glass
Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of a rocks glass (or coupe if preferred). Pour the coarse salt onto a small plate and gently press the rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.
If you prefer no salt, skip this step and chill the glass with ice while you build the cocktail.
Build & Shake
Measure ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and 0.25 oz agave syrup. Use freshly squeezed lime juice for best flavor.
Add ice and shake
Add a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker. Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and the ingredients are well-chilled and slightly diluted.
Strain & Serve
Garnish
Express the oils of a lime wheel over the drink by squeezing it gently, then drop the lime wheel or wedge onto the rim or into the drink. Serve immediately.
