Ice cubes

Tajín seasoning or chili-lime salt, for rimming

Notes

Ground turmeric adds a vibrant color and subtle earthiness—strain if using fresh turmeric juice for a smoother texture.

Add a splash of orange juice for a deeper citrus layer.
-
For a bolder spice profile, stir in a pinch of cayenne or a few jalapeño slices before serving.
