Notes
- Create a frothy foam, without the egg whites. Dry shake the ingredients for 10 seconds first (without ice) then add the ice in and wet shake for another 15 seconds to create a froth without the egg whites.
- Use quality ingredients. For a simple recipe quality ingredients are key! This 3 ingredient cocktail will be its best when made with the freshest quality ingredients.
- Shake vigorously. Certain cocktails require a certain 'put your back into it' shaking method and a sour is one of them!
- Balance your flavors. The perfect cocktail is all about balance. Aim for a well-balanced cocktail by adjusting the ratio of tequila, citrus juice, and agave.
- You can only store a batch in the refrigerator for a limited time due to the fresh lime juice but it will remain good overnight. However, it's best made and served immediately.
