Chilled añejo

Whiskey cocktail with ice and lime wedges on a kitchen counter near a wooden cutting board and utensils.

It was an accident waiting to happen. I was out of Cointreau, had only one half of a lime in the house and my ice-tray was empty. But I needed a drink and the fabulous añejo in the drinks cabinet was calling my name.

The fait à compli of a drink that followed was quite sublime.

  • A really good añejo tequila
  • A healthy wedge of lime
  • A glass
  • Pour the tequila into your glass.
  • Place the glass into the freezer and remove before it start to form ice but only when it is almost too cold to handle.
  • Squeeze the hell out of the lime directly into the glass and throw it in for good measure.
  • Le fin!

  • tequilla
