Cocktail

2 oz reposado tequila3/4 oz strawberry amaro (or strawberry liqueur with bitter herbal amaro notes)1/2 oz gentian liqueur (e.g., Suze or gentian-based aperitif)3/4 oz Fresh lime juice1/4 oz simple syrup (1:1)1 cup ice

Garnish

1 each fresh strawberry (hulled and sliced) or strawberry wheel1 each lime wheel1/4 tsp optional: pinch of flaky sea salt

Method

Cocktail

Combine and shake

Add the reposado tequila (2 oz), strawberry amaro (0.75 oz), gentian liqueur (0.5 oz), fresh lime juice (0.75 oz) and simple syrup (0.25 oz) into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (about 1 cup).

Shake vigorously

Secure the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker becomes very cold and slightly frosty. This properly chills and dilutes the drink.

Double strain

Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass filled with fresh ice using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to catch any small ice shards or fruit bits.

Garnish & Finish

Thread a sliced fresh strawberry onto the rim or float a strawberry wheel on top of the cocktail. Add a lime wheel on the rim or tucked beside the strawberry.

If desired, finish with a light pinch (about 1/4 tsp) of flaky sea salt on top of the strawberry or on the cocktail surface to brighten flavors and accentuate the gentian bitterness. Serve immediately.
