Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or coupe glass. Pour coarse salt onto a small plate and press the moistened rim into the salt to coat. Set the glass aside.
Build and shake
Add the blanco tequila (2 oz), fresh lime juice (1 oz), orange liqueur (1 oz), and agave syrup (0.5 oz, if using) into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (enough to nearly fill).
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds, until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted on the outside.
Strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail (using the shaker lid and a fine mesh strainer if available) into the prepared glass over fresh ice if serving on the rocks, or without ice if serving straight up.
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately.
