Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Run a lime wedge around the rim of two serving glasses. Dip the rims into a dish of coarse sea salt to lightly coat. Set aside.

- Top each glass with 1 oz of club soda or sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish each glass with a lime wedge on the rim. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For a frozen version, blend the tequila, lime juice, and agave with 1 cup of ice until smooth. Add club soda just before serving to preserve the effervescence. Always use fresh-squeezed lime juice for best flavor.
