Ingredients

  • 2 oz tequila (I prefer blanco)
  • 1 oz orange liqueur (such as cointreau)
  • 3 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 squeeze agave, to taste
  • limes and salt for rim, optional

Instructions

  • If opting to rim with salt, run a lime wedge along edge of glass and set glass top down onto a plate with salt. Move glass back and forth until rim is coated with salt. Set aside.
  • Add lime juice, tequila, orange liqueur, and agave to a cocktail shaker or measuring glass and shake or stir to mix.
  • Pour over ice, and enjoy!
