STEP 1 - Easy All-Natural Infusion
Infuse Your Spirit:
Combine a 1pt Ginger Infusion Blend Packet with 375ml of tequila in any lidded container. Let it infuse for 2-3 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 Ginger Infusion Blend Ingredients:
Ginger, Elderflower
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
| Ingredient | Cocktail (1) | Batch (6+) |
|---|---|---|
| 1pt Ginger-infused tequila* | 2.0 oz | 375ml |
| Fresh Lime Juice | 1.0 oz | 6 oz | Agave Syrup | 0.5 oz | 3 oz |
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 a slice of ginger; a lime-zest salt rim is optional.
STEP 3 - Enjoy!
For an Added Twist:
Add a splash of fresh orange juice to enhance the citrus notes and complement the ginger infusion.
