This refreshing and fruity cocktail will make the Margarita lovers happy.

INGREDIENTS: 

0.75 oz blanco tequila (such as Tres Generaciones Plata)

1.25 oz vodka (such as Suntory Haku rice vodka)

0.25 oz melon liqueur (such as Midori)

0.75 oz Mango-Passionfruit/Acai & Ginger Green Tea Syrup (see note)

0.25 oz fresh lime juice

Garnish: lemon twist

METHOD: 

Add all ingredients (except garnish) to a shaker with ice and shake well. Strain into a chilled coupe or Martini glass. Garnish with lemon twist. Serves 1.

Note: To make the green tea syrup, place 2 bags each of the Mango-Passionfruit-Acai and Ginger Green Tea in a vessel such as a teapot. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, let it cool slightly, then pour it over the teabags. Steep for about 3 minutes, or until you reach your desired strength, then remove teabags and stir in 2 cups of organic cane sugar until dissolved, adding more sugar if it’s not sweet enough for your liking. Transfer syrup to a sealable bottle and store in refrigerator up to one month.
