Equipment
- First, a cocktail shaker is essential for mixing the ingredients smoothly.
- I prefer using a glass jigger to measure out the liquids accurately.
- A strainer helps when pouring, to keep ice and pulp out of your drink. 🧊
- You'll also need a citrus juicer to get the freshest juice possible.
- Lastly, don't forget a highball glass for serving.
Ingredients
Gathering the right ingredients is vital for the best taste. Here’s what you need:
- 2 oz tequila
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 3/4 oz simple syrup
- 1 egg white optional, for froth

Using fresh lime juice makes a big difference, trust me! It's much more vibrant than bottled juice. You can adjust the amount of simple syrup to your taste.
