Ingredients
Instructions
-
Step 1: Prepare Your Glass
Start by creating the classic salted rim. Take a lime wedge and wipe it around the entire rim of your serving glass. Pour a generous amount of coarse sea salt onto a small plate or into a shallow bowl. Dip the moistened rim of the glass into the salt, turning it gently to ensure it's evenly coated. Set your prepared glass aside.
-
Step 2: Mix the Margarita Base
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, and agave nectar. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This chills the mixture and ensures the agave nectar is fully dissolved and blended with the citrus juices.
-
Step 3: Strain and Serve
Fill your salt-rimmed glass with fresh ice. Strain the chilled margarita mixture from the shaker into the glass over the ice.
-
Step 4: Top with Bubbles & Garnish
Top up the glass with the sparkling water, pouring it slowly to preserve the fizz. Give the drink a gentle stir with a bar spoon or straw. Garnish with a fresh lime wedge on the rim of the glass, and enjoy your refreshing mocktail immediately.
