Mijenta Cristalino Reposado / Gran Gala / Agave/lime Juice Recipe

Chill glass (optional)

Place your serving glass (old fashioned or rocks glass) in the freezer for a few minutes or fill with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.

Salt rim (optional)

If you prefer a salty rim, rub a lime wedge around the glass rim, then dip the rim into a shallow plate with the coarse salt to coat lightly. Set the glass aside.

Add the Mijenta Cristalino Reposado (2 oz), Gran Gala (1/2 oz), fresh lime juice (3/4 oz), and agave syrup (1/4 oz) to a cocktail shaker.

Fill the shaker with ice (enough to nearly fill the shaker) and secure the lid.

Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted. This both chills and dilutes the cocktail to balance the flavors.

Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass (if used). Fill the serving glass with fresh ice cubes or a large ice cube.

Strain the shaken cocktail into the prepared glass over the fresh ice using a fine strainer or the shaker’s strainer to remove small shards of ice or pulp.

Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim or floated on top. Optionally express the oils of a lime peel over the drink for extra aroma.

Serve immediately.
