Make Mine a Double

posted by JD on Apr 1

Well as we have turned the clocks back and have an hour extra of sunshine.. sorry slight exaggeration there …. well light …. I would write about spring yellowy cocktail.

I love the one below anything that gives me an extra twist on my favourite and I’m listening.

Chilli and mango Margarita

Stuff

• 2 slices green chilli

• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice

• 2 tsp agave syrup (available in most supermarkets)

• 35ml/1¼fl oz tequila

• 1 tbsp orange liqueur

• 25ml/1fl oz mango purée (made by blending and sieving a mango)

Method and madness

1. Put chilli into shaker, think of the terrible day you may have had, and pound that chill to a mush with the end of a rolling pin.
2. Add the lime juice, agave syrup, tequila, orange liqueur and mango purée with some ice and shake well.
3. Wet rim of glass and dip the into sea salt to coat.
4. Strain the cocktail into the Martini glass
