How to Make La Bomba

  1. Combine 2 oz Tequila, 1 oz Lime Juice, 0.75 oz Cointreau (or other orange liqueur), and 0.5 oz Agave Nectar in a cocktail shaker.
  2. Fill the shaker with ice.
  3. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds (3 hard shakes are insufficient for proper chilling and dilution).
  4. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a chilled cocktail glass, then dip the rim into a shallow dish of sugar.
  5. Double strain the cocktail into the prepared glass to remove ice chips.
  6. Gently layer 0.25 oz grenadine to the bottom of the glass.
  7. Garnish with a lime wheel.
