Ingredients
- 1 to 1 ½ shots lime juice*
- 2 shots water
- 1 to 2 shots tequila**
- ½ to 1 shot agave nectar or to taste
- ice as necessary
Instructions
- Over a large cup, squeeze limes, about 2 medium/large, ripe limes.***
- Add the water, tequila, agave, and stir. Taste and see if you need to make tweaks.
- If desired, strain mixture to remove any lime pulp, although I don’t bother.
- Add ice generously, and stir or shake (by putting another cup over the top).
- Serve immediately. Recipe is intended for those whom alcohol use is legal, done responsibly, and is appropriate.

Notes
- *Note: 1 shot glass equals 1/4 cup liquid
- **I use white/blanco tequila and prefer Patron Silver or Don Julio Blanco
- ***Paler green limes and those with yellow spots, and those with thin skin are juicier than darker-skinned limes or those with thicker skin. Medium/large limes seem to release their juice easier than small limes.
