1 cup and 2 Tbsp lime juice
¼ cup and 2 Tbsp orange juice
3 Tbsp agave nectar, plus more to taste
2½ cups and 2 Tbsp coconut water
Few dashes of salt
Lime wheels for garnish
Lime wedges and sea salt to rim the glasses

To salt the rims of four to six lowball or margarita glasses, pour a thin layer of salt onto a plate or a shallow bowl.

Slide a lime wedge around the rim of the glass to wet it, or use a finger to apply the juice to the rim, then dip and twist the glass in the salt. Combine all of the drink ingredients in a pitcher. Stir.

Fill the rimmed glasses with ice. Divide the margarita mix among the glasses. Garnish with lime wheels.
