What is the bartender tip for a Terra Batida?

Blanco tequila holds up to the citrus without burying the tangerine. The black pepper goes in only as a pinch in the shake — a pepper rim or a full spoonful drowns the syrup. The 15 ml of tangerine syrup balances the 25 ml of lime; if your syrup is very thick, squeeze a little more juice. Single strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice: the shake has already diluted it enough.
