Instructions
Prepare the Glass
Run a lime wedge around the rim of each glass. Pour coarse salt onto a flat plate and dip the rim into the salt to coat it evenly. Fill the glasses with ice cubes and set aside.
Mix the Citrus Base
In a cocktail shaker, combine the fresh lime juice, fresh orange juice, simple syrup, and orange zest. Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker.
Shake Vigorously
Seal the cocktail shaker tightly and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until the mixture is well chilled and slightly frothy.
Strain and Pour
Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared glasses over ice. Pour slowly to preserve the foam on top.
Top and Garnish
Top each glass with sparkling water and stir gently to combine. Garnish with a lime slice on the rim and serve immediately.
