Notes

Pro Tips

  • Juice substitute: If clementines aren’t available, use fresh tangerine or mandarin juice for a similar flavor.
  • Ginger beer kick: Use a bold, spicy ginger beer to complement the citrus and tequila.
  • Garnish prep: Lightly bruise the rosemary sprig by rolling it between your hands to release its aroma before garnishing.
