About this Cocktail

My attempt to recreate a favorite from Revival in Berkeley

Ingredients:

• 1.5 oz Tequila Ocho
• 1 oz lemon juice
• 0.5 oz cilantro simple syrup
• 2 Cherry tomatoes

Preparation:

Muddle the tomatoes in the tequilla. Add the remaining ingredients and shake over ice. Double strain into a coupe charged with a skewered cherry tomato.

For the cilantro simple: heat 1/2 cup sugar and a 1/2 cup water until simmer. Remove from heat. Add 1 farmers market bunch of cilantro, coarsely chopped, stems included. Let steep until room temp, and strain into a sterilized container.
