Tips and Tricks:
- Batch cocktail prep. This isn't a batch cocktail BUT if you do want to save some time, feel free to squeeze your lime juice before. You can keep it in a pitcher so guests won't have to mess with squeezing their own limes.
- Tajín Rim. If you want, use Tajin to rim the glasses with instead of salt.
