US - Metric

Instructions

  • In a shaker or glass, combine tequila and lime juice. In a separate cup, stir agave nectar with a little water until dissolved, then add it to the shaker.
  • Fill the shaker or glass with ice and shake for about 30 seconds until chilled.
  • Pour into a glass and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Tequila: Buy small, individual bottles to avoid purchasing a full-sized bottle you may not use.
  • No Triple Sec: This recipe skips triple sec to keep sugar low. If you want a hint of orange flavor, add a splash of orange juice.
  • Sweetness: Agave nectar adds natural sweetness. Adjust with orange juice if you prefer more citrus flavor.
  • Adjust to Taste: Add more lime juice if it’s too sweet, or more agave if it’s too tart.
