Cocktail
Garnish & Glass
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare glass (optional)
If you want a lightly spiced salted rim, spread a thin layer of lime juice on the glass rim and dip into a mix of coarse salt and a pinch of chili powder. Set the glass aside.
- 2
If using fresh mango, peel and dice 1/2 cup ripe mango. Purée in a blender until smooth. Strain if you want a silkier texture. Measure 1 oz of purée for the recipe.
Shake & Combine
- 3
Add 2 oz Campo Azul Reposado tequila, 0.75 oz Lecarre Orange (or substitute), 1 oz fresh mango purée, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, 0.5 oz agave syrup, and 3 dashes habanero bitters into a cocktail shaker.
- 4
Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosted.
- 5
Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the prepared glass over fresh ice (4 cubes). Use a Hawthorne strainer and then a fine mesh to remove mango fiber if desired.
Garnish & Finish
- 6
Express a lime wheel over the drink (squeeze and rub the rim lightly), then drop the lime wheel into the glass or hang on the rim. Add the thin mango slice or fan on the rim.
- 7
Taste and adjust: if the drink is too tart, add 0.25 oz agave and gently stir once; if too sweet, add a splash (0.125–0.25 oz) more lime juice. If you want more heat, add 1 additional dash of habanero bitters and stir gently.
- 8
Serve immediately. Sip carefully—the habanero bitters add a concentrated heat; they should be present as a bright warmth rather than overwhelming spice.
