Clear as cristalino 💎
To celebrate the release of the brand new Platinium Collection in partnership with @casadonramon, I created a cocktail for the ever gracious host, as clear and refreshing as Tequila Don Ramón Cristalino Platinium Añejo. I used ingredients such as vanilla and lavender to enhance and complement the subtle notes of nuts and vanilla of this particular Añejo. With a touch of lemon to add a bit more brightness, this well-rounded cocktail truly sets the bar, at home.
If you’re unfamiliar with the cristalino process, allow me to clarify (ha, get it?) - After maturation in oak, a complex filtration process removes the liquid’s amber color and piquancy. This results in a ridiculously smooth taste and long finish calling for easy sipping and/or amazing cocktails.
ingredients:
1½ oz | 45 ml Cristalino Añejo
¾ oz | 22.5 ml Dry Vermouth
¾ oz | 22.5 ml Vanilla Simple Syrup
4 Drops Lavender Bitters
Soda Water
Lemon Twist
Dehydrated Lemon Wheels (Optional/Garnish)
Fresh Lavender (Optional/Garnish)
instructions:
Add ice to a Collins or highball glass and pour tequila, dry vermouth, syrup and bitters and stir until incorporated. Pour soda water over the ice and lightly stir again. Express a lemon twist and garnish with dehydrated lemon wheels and fresh lavender. Cheers and enjoy!
