Description

Recipe from a popular American restaurant.

Ingredients

Tequila - 13 fl oz
Lime Juice - 1 qt
Agar-Agar - 0.2 oz
Sage - 0.6 oz
Sugar - 10.6 oz
Water - 10 fl oz
Olive Oil - 7 fl oz
Rosemary - 0.2 oz
Thyme - 0.2 oz
Pasilla Pepper - 0.2 oz
Cardamom - 0.2 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Pour the spices (feel free to adjust them to your taste) with olive oil and let them steep for a week.

Step 2

Squeeze the lime juice and strain it through a sieve. Measure 100 ml into a saucepan and add agar-agar. Stir vigorously until characteristic bubbles appear, then pour in the remaining juice, mixing thoroughly. Transfer to a container and place in the refrigerator. Once the juice has frozen, place it in a sieve lined with a waffle towel and leave at room temperature. After straining, you should have a completely clear liquid.

Step 3

Prepare a sugar syrup by taking equal parts sugar and water and melting them together. Allow to cool.

Step 4

Gently scorch fresh sage with a torch to enhance its aroma. Place it in a saucepan along with the sugar syrup, blend until smooth, and bring to a boil, but do not let it boil. Cover the saucepan with foil. Let it cool. Strain the resulting syrup through double-layered cheesecloth.

Step 5

Combine the sage syrup and clarified lime juice in a 1:1 ratio to create a lime-sage cordial.

Step 6

For one serving of the cocktail, pour 40 ml of tequila and 40 ml of cordial into a mixing glass, stir with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with two drops of aromatic oil.
