Pro tip:
Choosing a quality reposado tequila will significantly influence the final profile of the cocktail. When stirring, the goal is to achieve optimal temperature and dilution; don't stir too little, but also not excessively. The large ice cube in the serving glass helps maintain the temperature without diluting the drink too quickly.
