Method

Cocktail Preparation

Prepare the Glass

Take a lime wedge and rub it around the rim of a glass. Then, dip the rim into salt to coat it lightly. Set aside.

Muddle the Mint

In a cocktail shaker, add the fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves to release their oils.

Combine Ingredients

Add the agave spirit, fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, and agave syrup to the shaker with the muddled mint.

Shake It Up

Fill the shaker with ice cubes to taste, then secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill the mixture and combine the flavors.

Strain and Serve

Using a strainer, pour the cocktail mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Top with club soda to add fizz.

Garnish

Garnish with a lime wedge on the rim and an additional mint leaf if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
