Cocktail Op. 1

This is what your first cocktail tastes like:

One and a half ounce of Mezcal
One ounce of Cointreau, or any orange liquor
Three quarter ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice
Optional: agave nectar or simple syrup for sweetening, if desired

Begin by running a lime slice around the top or rim of a glass
Fill a shallow bowl with salt and dip the rim in the salt until it is covered with your desired amount of salt
Add Mezcal, lime juice, and Cointreau to a cocktail shaker
And sake or stir until combined
Fill the glass with ice
Pour in the cocktail mixture over the rocks
Serve immediately
Garnished with an extra lime wedge
