- 2 ounces of tequila (or non-alcoholic substitute)
- 1 ounce of fresh lime juice
- 1 ounce of orange liqueur (or non-alcoholic alternative)

- Nutmeg
- Coarse sea salt (for rimming)

- Prepare the Glass: Start by rimming your glass. Run a lime wedge around the rim, then dip it into a plate of coarse sea salt mixed with a pinch of cinnamon. Set the glass aside.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 ounces of tequila (or your non-alcoholic substitute), 1 ounce of fresh lime juice, 1 ounce of orange liqueur (or your non-alcoholic alternative), and 1/2 ounce of agave syrup. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg to the mixture.
- Add Ice: Fill the shaker with ice cubes. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared glass filled with ice. If you like, you can also serve it straight up without ice in a chilled glass.
- Garnish: For a festive touch, garnish with a cinnamon stick or a slice of lime on the rim. You might even consider adding a sprinkle of grated nutmeg on top.
