Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass by filling it with ice water while you build the cocktail. Alternatively, fill a rocks glass with fresh ice if you prefer served on the rocks.

2

Measure and add ingredients

Into a cocktail shaker add 2 oz blanco tequila, 0.75 oz hibiscus syrup, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 1 oz pineapple juice, and 2 dashes of aromatic bitters.

3

Add ice and shake

Add approximately 1 cup of ice to the shaker (enough to chill quickly). Cap and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds, until the shaker is very cold and you feel condensation forming.

4

Prepare serving glass

Discard the ice water from your chilled serving glass and, if using a rocks glass, fill it with 1/2 cup fresh ice.

5

Double strain and pour

Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe (for a clear, silky drink) or over the fresh ice in a rocks glass. Use a fine mesh strainer over the standard cocktail strainer to remove small ice shards and any hibiscus solids.

6

Garnish and finish

Express a lemon peel over the drink to release oils, or float a lemon wheel. Add a dehydrated hibiscus on the rim or a pineapple leaf/mint sprig for visual appeal. Optionally add 1 more dash of aromatic bitters on top to perfume the drink.

7

Serve

Serve immediately while cold. Enjoy responsibly.
