Too Soon Portland's vegetal tequila sour

Bitter and bright, this simple tequila sour gets a subtle vegetal note from cucumber and a savory rim.

Ingredients

1 oz. blanco tequila
1 oz. Cynar
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
3/4 oz. simple syrup (1:1)
2-3 cucumber slices

Tools:shaker, strainer
Glass:Nick & Nora
Garnish:artichoke salt (optional)

Preparation

Rim a chilled glass with artichoke salt (or regular salt) and set aside. Add all of the cocktail ingredients to a shaker with ice. Shake well to break down the cucumber, then strain into the prepared glass.
Artichoke SaltIn a food processor or Robot-Coupe, pulverize 3 parts dehydrated artichokes to a fine powder, add 1 part kosher salt, and blend until combined.
