Ingredients:

  • 2 oz (60ml) Blanco Tequila
  • 1 oz (30ml) Premium Orange Liqueur
  • 1 oz (30ml) Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
  • 0.25 oz (7ml) Agave Nectar
  • 0.5 tsp Coarse Sea Salt
  • 1 Fresh Lime Wheel

Instructions:

  1. Rim the glass. Run a lime wedge around the outer rim of a chilled rocks glass. Dip the edge into a small saucer of coarse salt at a 45 degree angle to coat the outside rim. Note: Only coat the outside so salt doesn't fall into the drink and ruin the balance.
  2. Measure the tequila. Pour 2 oz (60ml) of Blanco Tequila into the small side of your shaker. Note: Blanco is preferred for its raw, peppery agave flavor.
  3. Add the liqueur. Add 1 oz (30ml) of Premium Orange Liqueur to the shaker. Note: This provides the necessary citrus oil backbone.
  4. Squeeze the citrus. Add 1 oz (30ml) of freshly squeezed lime juice. The liquid should look cloudy and pale green.
  5. Sweeten the mix. Pour in 0.25 oz (7ml) of agave nectar. Note: Adjust this slightly if your limes are exceptionally tart.
  6. Ice it down. Fill the shaker 3/4 full with large, solid ice cubes. Note: Small ice melts too fast and dilutes the drink prematurely.
  7. The big shake. Shake vigorously for exactly 15 seconds until the shaker is painfully cold to the touch and frosted over.
  8. Prepare the glass. Fill your salted rocks glass with fresh, large ice cubes.
  9. Strain the mixture. Pour the cocktail through a strainer into the glass. The liquid should have a beautiful, frothy head.
  10. Final touch. Garnish with a fresh lime wheel and serve immediately while the aeration is at its peak.
