Method
- Pour a small amount of sea salt onto a plate, then wet the rim of your coupe glass with a lime wedge and dip it into the salt.
- Cut fresh limes in half and juice them using a citrus juicer until you have 1 ounce of juice.
- Add a generous handful of ice cubes to your cocktail shaker.
- Measure out 2 ounces of mezcal using a jigger and pour it into the shaker over the ice.
- Measure 0.5 ounce of Cointreau and add it to the shaker.
- Pour 0.5 ounce of agave nectar into the shaker, then add your fresh lime juice.
- Cap your shaker and shake hard for about 10 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold to touch.
- Place your bar strainer over the shaker and carefully pour the cocktail into your salt-rimmed glass.
- Finish with a lime wheel or twist perched on the rim of the glass, then serve immediately.
