Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz tequila blanco additive free
  • 1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 2 dashes orange bitters
  • ½ tsp allulose

Instructions

  • Rim the glass. Run a lime wedge around the outside edge of a rocks glass. Pour coarse salt onto a small plate and roll the outer rim through it. Rim the outside only, so the salt does not fall into the drink and take over.
  • Fill the glass with ice. Do it now, so the glass is cold when the drink hits it.
  • Build in the shaker. Add tequila, fresh lime juice, orange bitters, and sweetener to a cocktail shaker.
  • Add ice and shake hard for 15 seconds. Hard, not polite. You are chilling, aerating, and adding a bit of water by dilution, and that dilution is part of the recipe, not a flaw. It is also why a properly shaken drink goes down slower.
  • Strain over the fresh ice. Garnish with a lime wheel.
  • Taste before you adjust. If it is too tart, add sweetener a quarter teaspoon at a time. If it is flat, it needs more lime, not more sweetener.
