Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz (60 ml) Tequila Blanco (preferably smooth brand like Espolòn)
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Triple Sec or Cointreau
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Yuzu Juice (fresh or bottled)
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) Fresh Lime Juice
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) Agave Syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon Tajín Chili-Lime Seasoning (for rimming the glass)
  • 1 tablespoon Coarse Sea Salt (mixed with Tajín for rim)
  • Ice Cubes (enough for shaking and serving)
  • Optional Garnish: lime wheel or thin yuzu slice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Glass Rim: Mix Tajín chili-lime seasoning and coarse sea salt on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your serving glass to moisten.
  2. Dip the Glass Rim: Press the moistened rim into the Tajín-salt mix, twisting slightly to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.
  3. Juice the Citrus: Squeeze fresh yuzu and lime juices, measuring 1 oz yuzu and 0.5 oz lime.
  4. Mix Ingredients in Shaker: Add 2 oz tequila blanco, 1 oz triple sec, yuzu juice, lime juice, and 0.5 oz agave syrup into a cocktail shaker.
  5. Add Ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes, leaving room to shake well.
  6. Shake Vigorously: Seal the shaker and shake for about 15 seconds until frosty.
  7. Strain & Serve: Strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over fresh ice.
  8. Garnish: Add a lime wheel or yuzu slice on the rim.

Notes

Use fresh yuzu and lime juice for best flavor. Adjust agave syrup to balance tartness. Re-moisten glass rim if Tajín mix loses grip. Shake about 15 seconds to avoid dilution. Substitute yuzu with equal parts lemon and grapefruit juice if unavailable. Tajín seasoning can be replaced with chili powder, salt, and lime zest.
