Ingredients
1 to 1 ½shots lime juice*
2shots water
1 to 2shots tequila**
½ to 1shot agave nectaror to taste
iceas necessary
Instructions
Over a large cup, squeeze limes, about 2 medium/large, ripe limes.***
Add the water, tequila, agave, and stir. Taste and see if you need to make tweaks.
If desired, strain mixture to remove any lime pulp, although I don’t bother.
Add ice generously, and stir or shake (by putting another cup over the top).
Serve immediately. Recipe is intended for those whom alcohol use is legal, done responsibly, and is appropriate.
Notes
*Note: 1 shot glass equals 1/4 cup liquid**I use white/blanco tequila and prefer Patron Silver or Don Julio Blanco***Paler green limes and those with yellow spots, and those with thin skin are juicier than darker-skinned limes or those with thicker skin. Medium/large limes seem to release their juice easier than small limes.
