Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Simple Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool before using.

  2. 2

    Juicing the Limes

    Cut the limes in half and use a juicer or reamer to extract the juice. Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds.

Mixing the Drink

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lime juice and the cooled simple syrup. Stir well to combine.

  2. 4

    Add Sparkling Water

    Slowly pour in the sparkling water to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine without losing the carbonation.

  3. 5

    Prepare Glasses

    Take four glasses and rub the rim with a lime wedge, then dip the rims into salt to coat.

  4. 6

    Serve the Drink

    Pour the lime mixture into the prepared glasses filled with ice. Garnish with lime wedges and mint leaves, if desired. Drizzle agave nectar over the top for added sweetness.
