Number Of Ingredients 6

2 oz silver or reposado 100% agave tequila
1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (not bottled)
1/2 oz agave nectar (adjust up/down for sweetness)
1 oz fresh cool water
1 slice lime for garnish (optional)
1 tsp course salt for rim (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixing glass or mason jar add all ingredients except the salt and lime garnish.
  • 2. Mix well with a spoon or cover the jar and shake very gently.
  • 3. To salt the rim of your glass (optional) drag a cut lime around the rim and then gently dip the rim in a saucer filled with fluer de sel so that the salt sticks to the rim. Fill the glass to the top with ice. Add cocktail mixture to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake until well chilled. About 30 seconds.
