HCG Cocktail Party #2

Thanks to all who joined in on our virtual garden party tonight. Here is the recipe for the beverages that C.L. showed.

• Lime wedge, sugar and salt (equal amounts combined) for rimming glass
• Half a dozen mint leaves
• 2 Tbsp agave nectar (or simple syrup)
• 2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
• 6 Tbsp clear Tequila, or for non-alcoholic beverage use sparkling water instead of Tequila.
• ½ cup sour cherry juice
• Mint sprig for garnish

Use the lime to moisten the rim of your glass and add the sugar and salt.

Muddle the mint leaves in a cocktail shaker.

Add lime juice, agave nectar and cherry juice to the shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Strain out the mint pieces and ice and pour into your glass. Add either the sparkling water or Tequila.

Garnish with a sprig of mint and toast to spring!
