1/4 cup tequila, blanco (silver) |
2 tablespoons agave syrup (nectar) |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |

2. Combine tequila, agave syrup, and juice in a cocktail shaker; fill with ice and shake well.
3. Strain into prepared glass. Garnish with second lime slice.

5. Fruity: Muddle 3 blackberries with agave syrup in a cocktail shaker until berries are lightly crushed and juices are released. Continue with above recipe.
