Instructions
Making the Citrus Margarita
- Prepare the Glass: If you like a salty rim, take a lime wedge and run it around the rim of your glass. Dip it into a mixture of lime zest and low sodium salt to create a flavorful crust.
- Mix the Margarita: In a cocktail shaker or large glass, add the stick of LMNT Citrus Salt. Pour in the cold sparkling water and fresh lime juice. Stir or shake until the salt is fully dissolved.
- Finish and Serve: Fill your prepared glass with ice. Strain or pour the citrus mixture over the ice. Garnish with lime wheels, adding a sprinkle of orange zest on top if desired.
Crafting the Pomegranate Mint Raspberry Spritz
- Muddle the Fruits and Herbs: In a separate glass, take the fresh raspberries and mint leaves. Gently muddle them together using a muddler or the back of a spoon.
- Combine the Ingredients: Add the stick of LMNT Raspberry Salt to the muddled mixture alongside about 6 oz of water. Stir gently until the salt dissolves.
- Finish with Pomegranate Juice and Ice: If you opted for pomegranate juice, add it now. Fill the glass with ice cubes, top with additional water, and stir gently to combine. Garnish with extra mint leaves.
