Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
  • 0.75 oz Fresh Orange Juice
  • 0.5 oz Agave Nectar
  • 2 oz Sparkling Water
  • Ice cubes
  • Fine sea salt for rim
  • Lime wheel for garnish

Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Citrus juicer
  • Bar spoon

Method
 

  1. Chill a rocks glass and prepare a salt rim by moistening the edge with lime and dipping it lightly into sea salt.
  2. Add lime juice, orange juice, and agave nectar to a cocktail shaker.
  3. Fill with ice and shake firmly for about 10 seconds until well chilled.
  4. Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice.
  5. Strain the shaken mixture over the ice.
  6. Top gently with sparkling water to add lift and texture.
  7. Give one gentle stir to combine.
  8. Garnish with a lime wheel.

Notes

  • Use a light salt rim, not a heavy one. The salt enhances citrus bitterness and replaces the sharp edge alcohol usually provides.
  • Serve in a rocks glass with a lightly salted rim to enhance the citrusy, refreshing flavor.
