Garnish: No garnish

1. 01

   Chill the coupe thoroughly, confirm that no garnish is required, and ready the shaker.

2. 02

   Measure tequila blanco, lime juice, honey syrup, aromatic bitters, red bitter aperitif accurately and add them to a clean cocktail shaker.

3. 03

   Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with solid ice cubes and seal it firmly.

4. 04

   Pre-chill a coupe, add the red bitter aperitif, rotate the glass to coat the inside lightly, and discard any excess. Add the blanco tequila, fresh lime juice, honey syrup, and one dash of aromatic bitters to a shaker with solid ice, shake hard for 10–15 seconds, fine-strain into the prepared coupe, and serve without garnish.

5. 05

   Fine-strain into the chilled coupe so no small ice fragments reach the drink.

6. 06

   Serve immediately without a garnish while the drink is at its best.
