Fresca Platino
4 slice
A refreshing tasting watery vegetable used in some cocktails like the Gin and Tonic. Some people say cucumbers taste better pickled.
2 sprig
Aromatic plants used in cocktails as a garnish or muddled into the liquor to add a light fresh taste. Common in the Mint Julep.
0.75 oz
The second most common juice used in cocktails. This citrus juice is about 6% acid; 4% from citric and 2% from malic, with small amounts of succinic acid (this is what gives it a little bloody taste). Lime juice should be used the day it is squeezed, some like it freshly squeezed and others like it a few hours old.
0.75 oz
You know what this is, dihydrogen monoxide. Used in cocktails to aide dilution and dissolution. It is liquid at room temperature but becomes solid 'ice' at 0 Celsius. Did you know ice is a mineral?
2 drop
Like the pinch of salt in cookies, a couple drops from a 20g salt to 80g water solution in a cocktail will spread the flavors out, pronouncing sweet and/or tart flavours. Test it out in your favorite drink.
2 oz
Blanco, white spirit, white, plata or silver tequila refers to a young, unaged tequila.
Reserve 1 cucumber slice for garnish and put the remaining slices and the mint in a cocktail shaker. Add the lime juice, water and saline solution (or pinch salt) and muddle gently. Add the tequila and shake until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass with ice and garnish with the last cucumber slice. #muddle #shake #ontherocks
