Tiger Balm

Tequila
Drink: Tiger Balm

If there's one thing we learned during self-quarantine, it's how to make a good drink at home. One of our latest favorites is Tiger Balm: a tequila and lime cocktail that packs a citrus punch, but goes down easy. Made with Oleo-Saccharum, a citrus-infused simple syrup, this cocktail is just exotic enough to help you get away from it all for a brief moment.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz. Espolon Tequila Reposado
  • 0.75 oz. Lime Juice
  • 0.75 oz. Grapefruit Szechuan Oleo Saccharum
  • Club soda (optional)
  • A lime wheel and Tajin, to garnish.

Preparation

  1. Add ingredients to an ice-filled shaker.
  2. Shake well and strain into a tall glass.
  3. Top with soda if you'd like, and garnish with a lime wheel and a pinch of Tajin.
