- 2 oz Blanco or silver Tequila
- 1 oz Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 oz Agave syrup or simple syrup
- 1 dash Orange bitters
- Tajín seasoning for rimming
- 1 fresh mint sprig
Start by rimming your glass with Tajín seasoning. Simply rub a lime wedge around the rim, then dip it into a plate of Tajín. This adds a zesty kick right from the first sip—an important part of the experience!
In a cocktail shaker, combine the tequila, lime juice, agave syrup, and a dash of orange bitters. This step is key. Make sure to use freshly squeezed lime; the bottled stuff simply won’t do. Shake well for a few seconds until everything is combined thoroughly.
Next up, fill your prepared glass with ice. Carefully pour the sparkling mineral water over the ice, followed by the mixture from the shaker. Stir gently to mix. You want to keep that fizziness intact!
Finally, add a fresh mint sprig to your drink. This not only adds visual appeal but also contributes a refreshing aroma. You’re ready to indulge in your homemade Cactus Water!
- Chill your glass: A cold glass will keep your drink cooler longer. Use the freezer for a few minutes before serving.
- Taste before serving: Adjust sweetness or acidity to your liking. Add a little extra lime or agave if needed.
- Experiment with garnishes: Consider adding slices of lime or even diced fruit for additional flavors and presentation.
- Batch preparation: You can easily double or triple the ingredients to serve a group. Just remember the ratio!
- Use quality tequila: A good-quality tequila will elevate the drink. Choose a reputable brand for the best outcome.
