Recipe Intro From mixedandmeasured
Is it happy hour yet?! You have me at Margarita--but lavender and kumquat, as well? Combing one of the most calming and powerful herbs, lavender, with one of my yummy favorite weekend treats. Doesn't hurt that kumquats contain Fiber, Calcium, Vitamin C, Potassium, and Vit. A. Hopefully the tequila doesn't cancel out the health benefits. LoL.
INGREDIENTS
Serves 2
1/2 cup fresh squeezed kumquat juice
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp agave
3 shots tequila
1 tsp Cointreau
1 tsp Triple Sec
2 lavender flowers, plus more for garnish
For the sugar rim:
2 tbsp agave
1/4 cup cane sugar
DIRECTIONS
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add the kumquat juice, water, agave, tequila, Cointreau, Triple Sec and lavender flowers.
Cover and shake until mixed and chilled, about 30 seconds.
To get the thick sugar rim, use a pastry brush to brush a thin layer of agave on the inside and outside of each glass, about 1/4 of the way down the glass.
Sprinkle sugar over the agave.
Pour the cocktail into the glasses.
Finally, garnish with lavender flowers and kumquat peels.
