Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Hoja Santa Infusion

    In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the Hoja Santa leaves. Let steep for 10 minutes, then strain and set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare Persimmon Puree

    Peel and chop the ripe persimmons. In a blender, combine the chopped persimmons with a splash of water and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove any solids, yielding a smooth puree.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, add the Siete Leguas Reposado, Pernod, Benedictine, lemon juice, and the cooled Hoja Santa infusion. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds.

  2. 4

    Strain and Serve

    Double strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. Add a spoonful of the persimmon puree on top and gently stir to combine.
