If you’re having friends round this weekend, shake them up this cocktail. Its guaranteed to impress, with a fresh, zingy flavour that everyone will love.

---

YOU WILL NEED:

• 50ml Olmeca Blanco tequila
• 15ml Giffard triple sec
• 15ml Lemongrass syrup
• 1 fresh lime, quartered

METHOD:

• Add the tequila, triple sec and lime juice to a cocktail shaker
• Add a few handfuls of ice until the cocktail shaker is two-thirds full
• Securely fasten the lid and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds
• If you’d like to salt rim your glass, sprinkle a teaspoon of sea salt in a flat, wide dish. Using a segment of the squeezed lime, wipe the flesh around the rim of the glass to wet it, and then dip the rim in the salt.
• Strain the liquid mixture into your serving glass and fill with ice.
• Top with your choice of garnish. We went for a slice of orange, a spiral of lime rind and a biodegradable straw.

ENJOY!
