Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 leaves fresh mint leaves
- 1 whole lime
- 1.5 tablespoons agave nectar
- 2 ounces white tequila
- 3 ounces club soda
- 1 cup crushed ice
- 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 wedge lime wedge
Instructions
Begin by slicing the lime in half. Cut one half into small wedges and reserve the other half for juicing.
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, combine the fresh mint leaves, lime wedges, and agave nectar.
Gently muddle the ingredients together with a muddler or the back of a spoon until the mint is fragrant and the lime releases its juices.
Add the white tequila and the juice of the reserved lime half to the muddled mixture.
Fill a serving glass with crushed ice, then strain the muddled mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer to remove solids.
Top with club soda to taste, approximately 3 ounces.
Gently stir the cocktail with a spoon to combine the ingredients.
Run the lime wedge around the rim of the glass, then dip the rim into the coarse sea salt for a salted edge.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wheel, if desired, and serve immediately.
