Tips & Suggestions
Agave nectar and desert pear syrup can have different consistencies. If they are particularly viscous, gently heat them (separately and briefly) in a lukewarm water bath before measuring, to facilitate smooth integration when shaken.
For an elevated touch, make a rim of granulated sugar mixed with a pinch of finely powdered lime zest to provide a fragrant and subtly zesty contrast.
