Notes

  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best citrus flavor and brightness in the cocktail.
  • Adjust the amount of ice based on preference—more ice will dilute the drink slightly over time.
  • For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with ice instead of shaking.
  • Choose a high-quality tequila (preferably blanco) for authentic flavor.
  • Garnishes enhance both the presentation and aroma—don’t skip them!
