Ingredients
- 2 medium fresh limes, juiced (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml lime juice)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon agave syrup (can substitute honey or maple syrup)
- 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water (lemon-flavored preferred)
- Ice cubes
- Coarse sea salt or kosher salt for rimming the glass
- Optional fresh herbs (mint or basil leaves) for garnish
Instructions
- Rub a lime wedge around the rim of your glass to moisten it, then dip the rim into a small plate of coarse sea salt. Set aside to let the salt adhere.
- Cut 2 medium limes in half and juice them until you have about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of fresh lime juice. Juice enough orange to get 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of fresh juice.
- In a mixing glass or directly in your serving glass, combine the fresh lime juice, orange juice, and agave syrup. Stir well until the agave dissolves completely.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes, then pour 1 cup (240 ml) of sparkling water over the mixture. Stir gently to combine without losing fizz.
- Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or basil and/or a thin lime wheel or wedge on the rim, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use fresh citrus juice for best flavor; bottled lime juice tastes flat. Moisten the glass rim well but avoid dripping to prevent salt clumping or sliding off. Prepare the drink just before serving to keep the sparkling water fizzy. Adjust sweetness with agave syrup or alternatives like honey or maple syrup to taste. Variations include adding fresh herbs, fruit infusions, or a spicy kick with jalapeño or chili powder on the rim.
