3 oz tequila of choice (I use Sauza Hornitos Reposado, generally)
2 oz orange liquer (I use Patron Citronge, other good choices are Grand Marnier or Cointreau)
3 persian limes
4 squirts** agave syrup
lowball glass(es) with ice cubes
** - a quick pump of the bottle, not really sure how much comes out.
optional
pinch of black, flaky salt (I use Falksalt's black variety, but whatever)
5 sweet mint leaves
In a shaker, combine the tequila and orange liquer. If you want the mint, add all but 1 leaf and muddle. Hand-squeeze the limes into the shaker and add the agave syrup. Shake. If using mint, place one mint leaf decoratively between ice cubes. Pour over ice and crumble salt gently on top.
For a "Nor-Cal" alternative, use 4oz silver tequila, 3 persian limes, no orange liquer, no agave syrup and a few ounces of seltzer water.
