This recipe comes from Tres Agaves, a San Francisco Mexican restaurant with an exceptional selection of tequilas. Because limes vary widely in acidity, tequila fanatic Eric Rubin, the restaurant's managing partner, recommends tasting the drink (use a bar straw if you're making it for a friend) before you strain it, so you're sure you have achieved the proper balance between sweet and sour. Adjust the amounts of lime juice and agave nectar syrup as necessary, but be careful not to obscure the flavor of the tequila.
