Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
If you prefer a lightly salted rim, pour the coarse salt onto a small plate. Moisten the rim of a chilled rocks or coupe glass with a lime wedge and gently dip the rim into the salt to coat one half or the entire rim. Set the glass aside.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the reposado tequila (2 oz), freshly squeezed lime juice (0.75 oz), orange liqueur (0.5 oz), agave syrup (0.25 oz), and 2 dashes of orange bitters.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (enough to nearly fill) and secure the lid. Shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted on the outside.
Strain and serve
Double-strain (using a Hawthorne and, if available, a fine mesh strainer) into the prepared chilled glass over either a large ice cube or neat, depending on preference.
Garnish
Express the oils of an orange twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down above the glass and gently squeezing to release the oils, then run the twist around the rim and drop it into the cocktail as garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy. Adjust sweetness to taste by increasing or decreasing the agave/simple syrup by 0.25 oz increments.
