Infante x3
The main problem with making a batch of orgeat is that cocktails usually only call for very small amount of it. So, in searching for an orgeat-forward cocktail, I stumbled upon the Infante, and it immediately sounded like a winner.
I was right.
Bouncing ideas off Krossland, trying to decide what type of tequila to use between blanco and reposado, he challenged me to do both. I took it a step further and did one with rum as well (There may be another name for the rum one, I am unsure.)
All three were absolutely delicious. The tequila ones live somewhere between a lemonade (or limeade) and a margarita. The rum one, similarly, lives between a lemon/limeade and a mai tai.
Highly highly highly recommended. It will be a go-to for me, I am certain.
Shake all liquid ingredients, serve over a big ol' ice cube, garnish with lime wheel and nutmeg.
Ingredients:
- 2oz Tequila (or rum)
- 3/4oz Lime Juice
- 3/4oz Orgeat
- 3 drops orange blossom water
- lime wheel garnish
- fresh nutmeg garnish
