Notes
I used Lobos 1707 Tequila Joven which means it is a blanco tequila with a little bit of reposado mixed in. You can use regular silver, white or blanco tequila or reposado if you prefer.Variations to this cocktail recipe:
Spicy - Muddle fresh serranos or jalapenos in the cocktail shaker with the lemon juice before adding the tequila, agave and ice. Then shake up and serve!
Egg - If you're looking for a great foam on top of your cocktail (which also adds a creaminess) you can add egg. Here's how to use egg in cocktails.
Herbs - Whether you muddle the fresh herbs in the cocktail shaker or just use them as a garnish, herbs are a quick way to add to the drink experience.
Fruit - Muddle fresh fruit in the shaker as a way to add a boost of flavor. You may want to use a fine-mesh sieve as you strain into the cocktail glass to remove all the fruit particles.
Rim the Glass - Adding a little salt or a sugared rim is a great way to add a touch of flavor and little extra fun. Or add dried rose petals! So cute!
