# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes like you hired a mixologist, but honestly takes less time than ordering coffee.
  • The lime sugar rim catches the light and makes everyone feel like they're at an actual celebration, not just a Tuesday afternoon.
02 -
  • Pre-chill your glasses if you can—even ten minutes in the freezer makes the whole drink stay frozen longer and taste cooler on the first sip.
  • The sugar rim needs fresh lime zest, not dried, or it tastes like plastic instead of citrus, so don't skip that step thinking it won't matter.
03 -
  • Freeze your glasses ahead of time—the extra chill keeps the drink slushy texture intact through the whole drink.
  • Don't skip the lime zest in the sugar rim; it's what makes someone taste this and immediately ask for the recipe.
