Notes
If you don't have agave nectar, you can use simple syrup.
I like to squeeze citrus into small containers and measure from there instead of calling for muddling a lime or orange wedge because each piece of fruit has a different amount of juice.
So while this may seem like an extra step, it gives you a more consistent cocktail.
