Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
Place a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill.
Measure and add ingredients
Into a cocktail shaker add 2 oz Fortaleza Blanco tequila, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, 0.5 oz orange liqueur, and 0.25 oz fresh grapefruit juice (if using). Add 1 dash Angostura bitters if you want extra aromatic depth.
Add ice and shake
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup or enough to nearly full). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and slightly frosted.
Strain
Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or over fresh ice in a rocks glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and pulp.
Garnish and serve
Express the oils of a lime wheel or grapefruit twist over the surface and drop the garnish in or rest it on the rim. Serve immediately.
