Prepare Glass
If you like a salted rim, rub a lime wedge around the outer rim of a rocks or coupe glass. Dip the outer rim lightly into a shallow plate of coarse salt (or Tajín) to coat. Set glass aside.
Combine Ingredients
In a shaker, add 1 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz agave nectar (or simple syrup), 0.5 oz non-alcoholic orange cordial (or equivalent orange concentrate), and 2 oz non-alcoholic tequila-style spirit. Add a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup).
Shake
Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold and you see condensation. This chills and slightly dilutes the mixture for balance.
Strain & Top
Double-strain (fine mesh or hawthorne) the mixture into the prepared glass over fresh ice. Top with 1 oz sparkling water to add brightness and effervescence. Gently stir once with a bar spoon to integrate.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim. Serve immediately. Provide a straw if desired.
