Agave Fresh

The Agave Fresh is a bright, summery highball built to maximize the crisp fruitiness of the spirit. It features 1.5 oz of The Lost Explorer Tequila Blanco (or Mezcal Espadín) shaken with 1.5 oz of fresh pink grapefruit juice and 0.5 oz of lime juice. A touch of agave syrup (0.5 oz) balances the citrus before everything is strained into an ice-filled highball glass and topped with mineral water.

Ingredients:

  • ½ oz / 50 ml The Lost Explorer Mezcal Espadín

  • ½ oz / 50 ml Grapefruit juice

  • ¾ oz / 25 ml Agave Syrup

  • ½ oz / 15 ml Lime juice

  • ⅛ oz / 5 ml Giffard Menthe Pastille

  • Fresh cucumber juice (from 3 generous slices)

Instructions:

  • Muddle the fresh cucumber to make the juice. Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Strain into a tumbler filled with ice. Garnish with a bit of cucumber and reinvent yourself.
