A new Speakeasy Bar has just opened its doors, immersing guests back in time to the Prohibition era of 1920/30s America. To celebrate, bar manager Bethany Gaunt of the awesome Hush in Leamington Spa has created this marvellous cocktail that’s inspired by and named after the slang term used at the time for feisty and fiery women. Please note the actual version of the cocktail made in the Hush bar is even better as the Ancho Reyes Verde is infused with Gochujang, but that requires a water bath and who has one of those at home! As always, please enjoy responsibly.
Ingredients:
• 40ml El Jimador Reposado Tequila
• 10ml Cointreau
• 10ml Ancho Reyes Verde
• 10ml Yuzu purée
• 15ml Lime juice
• Smoked sea salt rim
Method:
Before making the cocktail prepare the glass with Smoked Maldon sea salt for the rim. Use a freshly cut wedge of lime to run round the edge and push into the salt. Use a napkin to tidy the rim and remove any salt that has fallen into the glass.
Add all the wet ingredients to a Boston shaker, plus ice and give it a hard shake. Double strain the cocktail into the prepared glass and serve with a wedge of lime on the edge of the glass.
