seasonal drinks - Turista Smash (spring)
I meant to post this ages ago. GF had the idea of seasonal drinks for special dinners. For spring I made at below (served in mule cups I received as a gift):
Turista Smash
1 oz. blanco tequila
1 1/3 oz. dry vermouth
Scant 3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
5 fresh cucumber wheels
14 fresh cilantro sprigs
Tools: muddler, shaker, strainer, fine-strainer
Glass: rocks
Garnish: cucumber slices and cilantro sprig
Muddle the cucumber slices in a shaker. Add the remaining ingredients and shake with ice. Fine-strain into a rocks glass that’s packed with crushed ice and garnish.
