- coarse sea salt see notes
Instructions

Notes
- Lime juice: Use fresh lime juice over anything bottled or preserved.
- Simple syrup: We recommend using simple syrup for this cocktail. You can alternatively use agave nectar.
- Sparkling water: Start off with 3 ounces and taste. If you'd like it less strong, pour in another ounce.
- Coarse sea salt: *optional* You can rim the glass with fresh lime juice coated in coarse sea salt if you'd like, too!
- Tequila recommendations include: Espolon Reposado, Casamigos Blanco and Avión Añejo, but anything silver / Blanco will work.
