1pt Florita Recipe

1pt Florita
The first sip of this cocktail arrives like a gentle evening breeze off the Sierra Madre, with tequila infused with lavender, orange zest, and a touch of licorice root, creating a light and floral twist on the classic margarita. Each sip offers a gentle balance of botanical layers and citrus brightness, perfect for gatherings that linger into the evening. Mocktail-friendly and easily batched.

STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion

Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Floral Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of tequila in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 4-5 hours, then strain, and reserve the infused spirit for your cocktails. (No need to refrigerate - infused spirits can be stored indefinitely at room temperature)

1pt Floral Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Chamomile, Lavender, Orange Zest, Licorice Root

Mocktail* Version:
Substitute water or a zero-proof spirit for the alcohol in this infusion and follow the same steps. (Non-alcoholic infusions should be refrigerated and used within 30 days)

STEP 2 - Mix Your Drink

Mixing Instructions:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Strain into a suitable glass - “up” or over ice. For batching, do not shake. Instead, combine all ingredients in a pitcher with ice (adding 4 oz of water to mimic the dilution you usually get from shaking) and serve as normal.

Garnish:
Garnish with edible flowers to bring out the cocktail’s natural floral aromas and add a touch of elegance.

STEP 3 - Enjoy!

For an Added Twist:
Add an orange twist to elevate the citrus notes and brighten the cocktail’s floral profile.
