Ingredients

2 servings

1 lime wedge, for rimming
2 tbsp coarse kosher salt or flaky sea salt, for rimming
4 oz blanco tequila (100% agave)
2 oz triple sec or cointreau
2 oz fresh lime juice (from about 3–4 limes)
½ oz agave nectar or simple syrup
1 cup ice cubes, for shaking, plus more for serving

For serving

2 lime wheels or wedges, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Spread the coarse salt in a shallow, flat dish. Run the lime wedge around the outer rim of each rocks glass, then press and rotate the moistened rim into the salt until evenly coated. Fill each glass with fresh ice and set aside.
2
Combine the tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and agave nectar in a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice, seal, and shake vigorously for 15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker is very cold and frosty.
