Dan's Pro Tips
- Use only pure agave syrup, not agave nectar with additives - it makes a huge difference in taste
- Lyre's Blanco Spirit is the closest non-alcoholic alternative to tequila blanco I've found
- Fresh lime juice is essential - bottled juice will ruin the authentic margarita experience
- For extra authenticity, add a tiny pinch of sea salt to the shaker before mixing
