Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 oz blanco tequila
- 1 oz lime juice
- 0.5 oz simple syrup
- 5 fresh basil leaves
- 5 fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Add the basil, mint, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
- Gently muddle the herbs to release their oils—don’t overdo it.
- Add the lime juice and tequila, then fill the shaker with ice.
- Shake for 10–15 seconds until well chilled.
- Double strain into a chilled coupe glass to catch any herb bits.
- Garnish with a small mint sprig, basil leaf, or lime wheel.
Notes
Pro Tips
- Muddle just enough to bruise the herbs. Crushing them too much can make the drink taste bitter.
- If you like it a little drier, reduce the simple syrup slightly.
- Chilling your glass ahead of time helps keep the drink crisp.
