- 1 ounce triple sec
- 2 ounces agave nectar
- kosher salt or sugar for the rim
- lime slices for garnish
Instructions
- To rim the glasses: Rub a wedge of lime around the edge of two glasses. Then roll the edges in salt or sugar.

Notes
Make them top shelf. Use top shelf tequila and Grand Marnier instead of triple sec.
Make them non-alcoholic. If you wish for that tequila flavor without the alcohol content, use a zero-proof spirit like Ritual tequila alternative that has a smoky flavor built-in.
