Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup agave nectar
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1/2 tsp orange extract
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt

Method
 

  1. Squeeze the limes and lemons, then strain the juices through a fine mesh strainer into a large measuring jug to remove seeds and pulp.
  2. Add the agave nectar and fine sea salt to the jug and whisk for about 30 seconds until the agave is fully dissolved and no longer sitting in a separate layer.
  3. Add the cold water and orange extract, then stir for 20 seconds. Taste and adjust with a few extra drops of lime juice or a teaspoon more agave if needed.
  4. Fill a salt-rimmed glass with ice, pour the mix over it, add tequila to taste, and finish with a lime wedge on the rim before serving.

Notes

This mix keeps for up to 7 days in the fridge, so making a double batch ahead of a gathering saves a lot of last-minute work. The orange extract is strong — measure it carefully rather than eyeballing it, because a few extra drops will make the drink taste more like orange than lime. Stir the mix before each pour if it has been sitting for more than a few hours.
