Method
Cocktail
Combine and shake
Add Lyre's Tequila Blanco, fresh lime juice, fresh lemon juice, agave syrup, elderflower syrup, and orange bitters (if using) into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (enough to chill thoroughly).
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the outside of the shaker becomes cold and slightly frosted. This dilutes and integrates the agave and elderflower with the citrus and spirit base.
Strain
Double-strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled Collins or highball glass filled with fresh ice (large cubes or pebble ice).
Finish & Garnish
Garnish with a thin lime wheel or twist placed on the rim or floated on top. Optionally add an edible flower or a small sprig of mint for aroma and visual calm.
Serve immediately with a short note: stir lightly before sipping to re-integrate the soda if it separates.
