What ingredients are needed for Zero Sugar Margarita?

3 oz tequila blanco (white tequila)
5 limes
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons agave nectar
½ cup kosher salt

How can I easily make Zero Sugar Margarita?

Use a citrus press to squeeze the juice from four limes into a cocktail shaker and cut your 5th lime into wedges for garnishing cocktail glasses.
Measure salt onto a small plate (or into a margarita glass rimmer).
Run the shell of juiced lime around the rim of two 12 ounce cocktail glasses and dip in salt. (*Tip: I recommend using the shell of a juiced lime rather than a wedge. A shell will wet the rim nicely but a wedge tends to drip down the side of the glass).
Fill each salted glass about halfway full of ice and garnish with a lime wedge.
Add tequila, agave, water and a handful of ice to your cocktail shaker. Shake for 15-20 seconds.
Pour mixture into each cocktail glass and enjoy!
