Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Reposado Tequila
  • 0.5 oz Grand Marnier
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz agave nectar
  • 1 tsp coarse kosher salt
  • 1 lime wedge for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the rocks glass by running a lime wedge around the outer rim and dipping the edge into coarse salt.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Reposado tequila, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave nectar.
  3. Fill the shaker with ice and perform a 'hard shake' for 12–15 seconds to achieve aeration and optimal thermal dilution.
  4. Strain the mixture into the prepared rocks glass over fresh ice.
  5. Gently pour 0.5 oz of Grand Marnier over the back of a bar spoon to create the signature float on top of the drink.
  6. Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge and serve immediately.
