Arugula Margarita
Ingredients
- 2 ounces silver/blanco tequila*
- ¾ ounce white vermouth (such as Martini & Rossi, Dolin, etc.)
- 1 ounce lime juice (about the juice of 1 medium lime)
- 1 ounce arugula syrup (see recipe below)
- 3 dashes celery bitters (available at Bevmo or Total Wine)
- Sliced lime and arugula leaf for garnish
Instructions
- Wet the rim of a rocks glass with a lime wedge and dip into a bowl of kosher salt. Set aside. Combine all the ingredients except garnish in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously. Strain into the salt-rimmed, ice-filled glass. Garnish with a lime wheel and a single arugula leaf.
Notes
* I prefer a silver tequila in this drink as it already has a little more of a spicy, grassy flavor to it versus a reposado or anejo that is a touch softer. El Tesoro or Casa Noble Platinum are good choices.
