MARGARITAS & POKER, THE PERFECT PLAN

FLAVOR: Herbal – Acidic – Aromatic

OCCASION: Game night with friends, Mexican snacks, and a strong desire to bet

YOU WILL NEED:

• 2 ounces of tequila

• 2 sprigs of rosemary, plus 1 extra as an optional garnish

• ½ ounce of agave honey

• 1 ¼ ounces of freshly squeezed grapefruit juice

• ¼ ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice

• ½ teaspoon of sea salt flakes or cocktail salt for the rim (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. If you want a salted rim, pour the salt onto a small plate. Prepare the glass (empty) by rubbing the rim with a lime or grapefruit wedge. Dip the moistened rim into the salt and rotate until well coated.

2. Fill the glass with ice.

3. Add the rosemary and agave honey to an empty shaker (without ice) and muddle until the rosemary releases its aroma.

4. Add the tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, and ice to the shaker. Shake for 10–15 seconds and strain into the ice-filled glass.

5. For smoked rosemary garnish, carefully hold a match under a rosemary sprig until it begins to lightly smoke. Place the unsmoked end of the sprig into your glass.
