Ingredients

1 lime, cut into wedges
Kosher salt or flaky margarita salt
Ice cubes
1.5 ounces fresh lime juice (about 3 tablespoons or 1 ½ medium limes)
1 ounce fresh orange juice (about 2 tablespoons or ½ medium orange)
0.5 ounces fresh lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon or ½ medium lemon)
2 teaspoons agave nectar
Sparkling water or club soda, as needed

Instructions

Run a lime wedge around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the glass in salt and fill with ice.
In a cocktail shaker or cup, add the lime juice, orange juice, lemon juice, and agave nectar. Shake or stir to combine.
Pour it into the prepared glass, top with sparkling water, and garnish with a lime wedge.

Notes

Agave nectar: If you don't have agave nectar, you can use simple syrup or honey instead.
To make a big batch: For 4 servings, combine ¾ cup lime juice, ½ cup orange juice, ¼ cup lemon juice, and 2 ½ to 3 tablespoons agave nectar. For 8 servings, mix 1 ½ cups lime juice, 1 cup orange juice, ½ cup lemon juice, and 5 to 6 tablespoons agave nectar.
