- Zest 1 large orange
- 6-8 oranges juiced
- 3 limes juiced
- Reposado tequila
- Agave or simple syrup
- coarse salt
- ice
- optional: dehydrated orange wheel garnish
1. To make the burnt orange rim: add zest of 1 orange into a small saucepan. Cook on low for 5-7 minutes until the colour begins to deepen and appear toasted. Stir occasionally. Remove from the pan and mix with 1/2 tsp of coarse salt on a shallow plate.
2. Juice oranges and add to a blender. Blend for 1 minute. This will create a thin frothy layer when pouring into drink.
3. To make the cocktail: build in glass already rimmed. Fill with ice, pour 1 1/2 ounce shot of tequila, 1 oz of fresh lime juice, .25 oz of agave. Fill with fresh orange juice and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
