Mexican Sprite Recipe

Rim the Glass

Run a lime wedge around the rim of each serving glass. Spread 1 tsp Tajin on a small plate and dip the rim into the seasoning to coat. Set glasses aside in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the drink.

Slice lime wheels or wedges for garnish and set aside.

In a large pitcher, combine 4 cups chilled Sprite and 1 cup chilled sparkling water (use only Sprite if you want full sweetness/effervescence). Stir gently to preserve carbonation.

Add 1/2 cup fresh lime juice and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice to the pitcher. Stir gently to incorporate.

Add 2 tablespoons agave syrup (or simple syrup) and stir until dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness: add up to 1 tablespoon more if desired.

If using, add 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger to the pitcher and stir gently.

For subtle jalapeño heat, add several thin slices from 1/2 a jalapeño to the pitcher. Allow to steep for 5–10 minutes, then remove slices if you prefer milder heat. (Keep them in for stronger heat.)

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon Tajin into the pitcher and stir once — this adds a layered chile-lime note. Reserve the remaining teaspoon for a light sprinkle on top when serving.

Fill each rimmed glass with about 1/2 cup ice cubes (adjust to glass size).

Pour the prepared Mexican Sprite over the ice, dividing evenly (roughly 1 cup per serving if making 6 servings from recipe quantities).

Garnish each glass with a lime wheel or wedge and a mint sprig if using. Lightly sprinkle a pinch of Tajin over the top of each drink for extra zing.

Serve immediately while fizzy. Stir gently before drinking if jalapeño or ginger were steeped to redistribute flavors.
