Makes 2 Mocktails
The Goods:
Juice from 2 limes
3-4 slices cucumber
1/4 of jalapeño, deseeded
1 oz agave syrup
3 oz orange juice
soda water
3 tbsp tajin spicy salt
The Method:
On a small plate, pour tajin spicy salt into a circle. Next, grab two rocks glasses, and wet the rim with a lime wedge. Flip each glass upside down and coat the rim with salt. Fill glasses with fresh ice, set aside.
In a cocktail shaker or large mason jar, add lime juice, cucumber, jalapeño, agave, and orange juice. With a wooden spoon or muddler, gently muddle fruit for 5-10 seconds to release the oils.
Add 2-3 handfuls of ice to shaker or mason jar, and shake for 10-15 seconds. Strain evenly into both rocks glasses, and there should be room at the top leftover.
Fill the rest with soda water. Garnish with a cucumber slice and jalapeño slice. Enjoy immediately!
