A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare your glass
Use the measured lime wheel to moisten half of the outside rim of a rocks glass. Press that half into the measured fine salt, keeping salt out of the glass. Add 120 g fresh cubed ice per glass just before pouring.
Measure into your shaker
Measure one serving of tequila, Grand Marnier, and lime juice into the shaker. Leave the salt and lime wheel with the prepared glass.
Shake until properly cold
Use one serving of the measured ingredients per batch. Add 180 g cubed ice and seal the shaker. Shake firmly until the outside feels very cold. Repeat with fresh mixing ice for each serving.
Strain and finish
Use a cocktail strainer and a fine-mesh sieve to pour into the prepared rocks glass. Add the measured garnish and serve immediately.
