Instructions

Rub a lime wedge around the rim of two highball or cocktail glasses. Dip the rims in coarse sea salt or margarita salt. Optional but tasty!
In a cocktail shaker, mix the tequila, orange juice, lime juice, and agave nectar. Add ice and shake until well chilled.
Fill the prepared glasses with ice (optional). Strain the shaken mixture into each glass.
Top with chilled grapefruit-flavored sparkling water to the glass.
Garnish with a slice of orange, orange peel, grapefruit or lime. Optionally, add fresh edible flowers.
Stir gently and enjoy

Notes

Lower sugar sparkling water options – La Croix, Spindfrift, or Izze Sparkling grapefruit are all naturally sweetened with no added sugar. If you prefer no grapefruit flavor, then club soda also works!

Tips: This recipe makes 1-2 drinks but can easily be doubled. Adjust agave and tequila to your liking.
