Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Juicing the Fruits

    Start by juicing the grapefruit, guava, and yuzu. Measure out 1 oz of each juice and set aside.

  2. 2

    Infusing Pandan

    If using fresh pandan leaves, bruise them slightly to release their aroma before adding them to the mixture. If using dried, crumble them into smaller pieces.

Mixing

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a cocktail shaker, combine the Cascahuin Blanco Tequila, grapefruit juice, guava juice, yuzu juice, ground clove, ground cardamom, and pandan leaves.

  2. 4

    Shake

    Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients.

Serving

  1. 5

    Strain and Serve

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. You can double strain to remove any pulp or bits from the pandan leaves.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a slice of grapefruit on the rim and an edible flower if desired.
