Trim the lemongrass stalk to about 3 inches, then bruise it gently with the back of a knife to release aromatic oils.
Cut the orange in half and juice it to obtain about 1 oz of fresh juice.
Place the bruised lemongrass in the shaker and gently muddle for about 10 seconds to infuse its flavor into the liquid.
Pour in the orange juice, tequila, and add ice to the shaker.
Shake the mixture for about 10 seconds until well chilled.
Strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass filled with fresh ice, using a fine strainer to remove lemongrass bits.
Optional: garnish with a thin lemongrass stalk or a twist of orange peel for aroma.
