Cocktail

Optional Sweetness Adjustment

Method

Prep

1

Prepare glass

Rub the lime wedge around the rim of a rocks or highball glass. Spread the coarse salt on a small plate and dip the rim into the salt to create an even salted rim. Set the glass aside.

2

Measure ingredients

Measure tequila, agave nectar, fresh lime juice, and fresh orange juice. If using additional agave for sweetness adjustment, have it ready.

Mixing

3

Fill a cocktail shaker with the cubed ice (about 4–6 cubes). Add 2 oz Dulce Vida Lime tequila, 0.5 oz agave nectar, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz fresh orange juice to the shaker.

4

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

5

If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, add the optional additional 0.25 oz agave now and give a quick 3–4 second shake to combine.

Assemble & Finish

6

Fill the prepared glass with fresh ice (top with remaining ice cubes). Strain the shaken mixture into the glass over the ice.

7

If you want a longer, lighter cocktail (skinny-style), top with 2 oz cold soda water and gently stir once to integrate. If you prefer it undiluted, omit the soda water.

8

Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim and a thin orange slice in the drink or on the rim.

9

Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer if desired.
