In celebration of a recent birthday, here's a cocktail I put together in a snap. It combines delicious tequila, aged to perfection, with a locally-made cordial, a ton of fresh fruit, some cool garnish, and Casamigos riming salt for that south-of-the-border kick. To make this, you'll need:
- 2.5oz Tequila 123 "Numero Tres" añejo tequila
- 0.75oz McClintock Distilling Co. "Spiced Pear Cordial"
- 3 lime slices
- 3 lemon slices
- Star fruit (juicing and garnish)
- Dash of lemon seltzer
- Casamigos spicy chile rimming salt
First, muddle the fruit in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add tequila, juiced star fruit, cordial, and ice, and shake vigorously. Pour into a Tom Collins glass, top with club soda, and garnish with fresh lemon and star fruit.
It's delicious! The tequila is mellow and the cordial / fruit really stands out. I love the spicy kick from the rimming salt. And before anyone says anything, yes, I know it's "añejo", and he's not old! ¡Feliz cumpleaños Héctor!
