1-First Step: Mise en place and chill Gather all ingredients and chill your serving glass in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes. If rimming, prepare a plate with sea salt and lemon zest mixture using a lime wedge.

2-Second Step: Rim the glass (optional) Run the lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip into the salt and zest mix for a bright contrast. This step enhances the citrus flavors and adds texture.

3-Third Step: Measure and pour In a cocktail shaker, add 2 ounces tequila, 2 ounces Limoncello, juice of half a lime, juice of half a Meyer lemon, and 0.5 ounces simple syrup. Use a jigger for accuracy to get consistent results.

4-Fourth Step: Add ice and shake Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 30 seconds to chill the mixture. This step is crucial for the right dilution and temperature.

5-Fifth Step: Strain and serve Strain into the prepared glass filled with ice and garnish with a lemon slice. For the best taste, serve it cold to lock in the fresh citrus notes.

6-Sixth Step: Adaptations and timing For variations, try mocktails by swapping tequila for sparkling water. Total prep is about 5 minutes, focusing on fresh citrus for the best flavor.
