Tequila meets tarragon and pineapple.
A bittersweet tarragon syrup marries perfectly with earthy tequila in this cocktail from ABV in San Francisco.
Ingredients
- 2 oz. blanco tequila
- 1 oz. fresh lime juice
- 1/2 oz. pineapple syrup (such as Small Hand Foods)
- 1/2 oz. tarragon syrup
- 1 dash absinthe
- Tools:shaker, strainer
- Glass:coupe
Preparation
Shake all of the ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled glass.
Tarragon Syrup: Blanch 1 1/2 oz. of tarragon leaves (no stems) for 15 seconds in boiling water, then transfer the leaves to an ice bath. In a blender, combine the leaves with 2 cups of simple syrup (1:1) and blend until smooth. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
