From Julep in Houston comes this herbaceous tequila cocktail that perfectly matches the sweetness of strawberry with the spice of ginger.

  • 1/2 oz. yellow Chartreuse
  • 1/2 oz. ginger syrup
  • 1/2 oz. strawberry syrup

  • Glass:coupe
  • Garnish:lemon peel, rosemary sprig

Preparation

Shake all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Fine strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish.

Strawberry Syrup: Blend strawberries (remove leafy tops) into a purée, then add equal parts filtered water to make a “juice.” Fine strain to remove any particulates/seeds. Once strained, add equal parts of white sugar. Mix until dissolved.

Ginger Syrup: Juice whole ginger in a masticating juicer. Once juiced, add equal parts filtered water to make a “juice.” Fine strain to remove any particulates/pulp. Once strained, add 2 parts of white sugar. Mix until dissolved.
