Frozen Citrus Tequila Slush
A bright, icy cocktail shaken, then pulverized to a frothy slush. Tequila swaps to reposado for oak depth. Orange liqueur replaced with grand marnier for richer complexity. Honey syrup instead of cane simple syrup, adds floral sweetness with a slightly denser texture. Lime juice reduced slightly, balanced with a splash of fresh grapefruit juice, adds a subtle bitterness. Crushed ice blitzed to fine snow, not chunks. Garnish optional but salt rims stay classic. Refreshing, zingy, textured, filled with lively citrus aromas and the smooth burn of aged tequila. Quick blend, immediate serve.
Peach-Verveine Kir
Light cocktail with fruity notes, mixing sparkling wine with a fresh herb twist and a homemade peach syrup. The syrup blends fresh or thawed peaches with sugar and water, simmered briefly and chilled before straining. Sparkling wine gets a splash of syrup, topped with lemon balm or verveine for a zesty herbal aroma.
