Cocktail

2 oz Patrón Silver tequila3/4 oz Fresh lime juice1/2 oz Honey syrup (1:1 honey to water)2 dashes Angostura bitters1 cup Ice (for shaking)3 cubes Ice (for serving, optional)1 piece Lime wheel or twist (garnish)

Method

Cocktail

Make honey syrup (if not prepared)

Combine equal parts honey and warm water (for example 1/4 cup honey + 1/4 cup warm water) in a small jar or container. Stir or shake until fully combined and smooth. Let cool before using. Makes more than needed; store refrigerated up to 2 weeks.

Fill a cocktail shaker about two-thirds full with ice.

Add 2 oz Patrón Silver tequila to the shaker.

Measure and add 0.75 oz fresh lime juice (about half a lime) to the shaker.

Add 0.5 oz honey syrup to the shaker.

Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters into the shaker. The bitters add aromatic complexity and balance the honey and lime.

Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and well chilled.

If serving up: double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or martini glass to remove small ice shards. If serving on the rocks: add 3 ice cubes to a rocks glass and strain the cocktail over the ice.

Garnish with a lime wheel or a lime twist placed on the rim or floated on the surface.

Serve immediately. Optionally, express an additional dash of bitters on the top by holding the bottle over the drink and letting one more dash fall for aroma.
