Herbaceous and citrusy, this refreshing cocktail is full of green botanicals and boasts a slightly savory edge. Best enjoyed outdoors with a steak or tacos (or carne asada if you want the best of both worlds).

Cocktail Flavor Camps
Created by home bartender Chris, this cocktail was one of the finalists during our Tequila Cocktail Challenge (April 2024). As noted by Rail, “this cocktail is inspired by my lovely wife and the females surrounding her upbringing. It is an homage to the many strong females in her life who had a hand in raising her to be the true essence of empowerment. Not only is she the beautiful woman I was blessed with meeting over 20 years ago and marrying but also the mother to our beautiful son.”
