Ingredients You'll Need – 2 oz tequila (preferably reposado for a smoother taste) – ¾ oz fresh lime juice – ½ oz agave syrup or simple syrup – ½ oz orange liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec)
How to Mix the Cocktail 1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. 2. Pour in the tequila, lime juice, orange liqueur, agave syrup, and bitters. 3. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and blend the flavors.
The Perfect Glassware – Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or rocks glass. – If serving on the rocks, add a large ice cube to the glass before pouring.
Garnish for a Classic Touch – Add a lime wheel or a curled orange peel on the rim. – For extra flair, lightly flame the orange peel over the drink to release its oils.
Best Pairings for Late-Night Sipping – Dark chocolate or spiced nuts complement the citrus and tequila notes. – Grilled tacos or smoky mezcal-infused dishes enhance the cocktail’s depth.
