Ingredients:

  • 2 oz (60ml) Blanco Tequila (100% Blue Agave)
  • 1 oz (30ml) Freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 0.5 oz (15ml) Cointreau or Triple Sec
  • 0.5 oz (15ml) Light Agave Nectar
  • 1 tbsp (15g) Coarse Sea Salt or Kosher Salt
  • 0.5 tsp (2g) Fresh Lime Zest
  • 1 cup (150g) Large, solid ice cubes

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the rimming mixture by combining coarse sea salt and lime zest on a small flat plate.
  2. Moisten the outer edge of a rocks glass with a lime wedge. Dip the glass into the salt mixture at a 45-degree angle, rotating to coat the exterior rim only.
  3. Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with fresh ice cubes.
  4. Add the blanco tequila, freshly squeezed lime juice, Cointreau, and agave nectar to the shaker.
  5. Seal the shaker tightly and shake vigorously for 15 seconds to achieve proper dilution, aeration, and temperature.
  6. Strain the mixture through a Hawthorne strainer into the prepared salt-rimmed rocks glass over fresh ice.
