OK, Dia De Los Muertos (the day itself) has already passed, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the cocktail. Someone recently gifted me a bottle of Don Julio Añejo, and I totally love it. Of course I had to find a recipe that goes with this exquisite tequila. I found a bunch of them, but the one that spoke to me the most, was this one. We are actually right in between these Mexican holidays, being that they land in November. But hey, let’s celebrate early (or late?). Summer is officially here, and this cocktail will cool you down. So delicious….
What you’ll need:
- 2 oz Don Julio Añejo
- 1/2 oz Cointreau
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 2 large orange wedges
- 1 orange wheel
- rock salt
In a cocktail shaker, muddle the oranges, then add ice. Add tequila, Cointreau and lime juice. Shake well. Strain into a martini glass with a salted rim. Garnish with an orange wheel.
Cheers!
