Drinks • Author's
Description
Absolute transparency, summer freshness, and long hours of work. To infuse a clear mix of tequila with the flavor of cilantro, but not cilantro itself, you need to brew a cordial from greens with a brine of spicy peppers, and then let it steep for more than six hours. Recipe from a bar in St. Petersburg.
