Infante

About this Cocktail

Named for the great Mexican musician/actor/crooner Pedro Infante who died in 1957, this is a luscious drink that sits on the line of sour and Margarita. Had I researched further I would’ve gone with the original addition of 3 drops of orange flower water in lieu of the orange bitters and would have used freshly ground nutmeg as garnish as the mariachis would remember it.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Blanco Tequila
• 1 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
• 1 oz Orgeat
• Dash of Orange Bitters or 3 drops of Orange Flower Water
• Garnish: Orange Swirl or fresh ground Nutmeg

Preparation:

Add all ingredients into a shaker and add ice.

Shake well for 10+ seconds until well chilled.

Double strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish.
