Ingredients
- Coarse (kosher) salt
- 1-lime wedge
- 1-1/2ounces 100% blue agave resposado or not-too-heavy-tasting añejo tequila (we love Herradura añejo)
- 1 ounce brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Torres Orange)
- 1 ounce fresh-squeezed lime juice
- A little agave syrup (light organic syrup gives the best flavor) or simple syrup, if you want a little more sweetness
- 6 to 10 medium ice cubes (about ¾ cup)
Instructions
- Spread the salt on a small plate, moisten the rim of a 6-ounce martini glass with the lime wedge, and upend the glass onto the salt to crust the rim.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and ice. Cover and shake vigorously until frothy and cold; tiny ice crystals will appear in the drink after about 15 seconds of shaking. Strain into the salt-crusted glass and serve immediately.
Yield
1 cocktail.
