Jalisco Tequila Sour: A Don Levi Tequila Twist on the New York Whiskey Sour

Another Don Levi Tequila Cocktail creation, inspired by the New York Whisky Sour introduing The Jalisco Tequila Sour. This cocktail combines the smoothness of Don Levi Blanco Tequila with the tanginess and citrusy notes of lemon juice, a hint of sweetness from sugar syrup with a velvety texture with a visual appeal from a surprising ingredient.

Here’s how to create this unique and impressive cocktail.

Ingredients:

50ml Don Levi Blanco Tequila: The best tequila to use for any cocktail (but, of course we'd say that) that is smooth and crisp.

22.5ml Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, tangy kick to balance the sweetness and is a key ingredient in any sour.

22.5ml Sugar Syrup: For a subtle sweetness that complements the other ingredients.

1 Egg White or 10ml Aquafaba: To add a smooth, frothy texture that makes the cocktail feel luxurious.

Red Wine: The secret ingredient to float on top, adding depth and a visually stunning layer.

How to Make the Perfect Jalisco Tequila Sour:

1. Combine the Ingredients 
In a cocktail shaker, add Don Levi Blanco Tequila, lemon juice, sugar syrup, and either egg white or aquafaba with some ice.

2. Shake Vigorously 
Shake all the ingredients well for about 15 seconds until the shaker is cold and slightly frosted.

3. Strain into Glass 
Strain into a coupe or rocks glass over some ice.

4. Float the Red Wine 
To achieve the beautiful layered effect, use the back of a stirring spoon to gently pour red wine over the top of the drink, allowing it to float on the surface.

5. Enjoy! (Responsibly)
