The Vida Picante

This original creation marries the zestiness of a margarita with the sophistication of a gimlet. Experience a delightful hint of vegetal spice combined with the botanicals of Toca Vida, balanced by the sweetness of agave and succulent citrus, delivering a refreshing taste of summer straight to your glass. For an adventurous twist, consider enhancing the spicy flavor profile with a rim of zesty Tajin seasoning, or perhaps smoked salt.

Recipe:

  • 50ml Toca Vida Gin

  • 20ml Lime Juice

  • 20ml Agave Syrup

  • Pinch of Maldon Rock Salt

  • 1 slice of red chilli, muddled if you like it spicy

Directions:

  1. Fill your glass with ice to chill.

  2. Add all of your ingredients to your cocktail shaker and stir to dissolve agave syrup.

  3. Fill your shaker with cubed ice, seal and give a vigorous shake. Top Tip: your cocktail is shaken to perfection when your tin starts to form frost on the outside.

  4. Separate your tins and fine strain to stop any ice chips over diluting your drink.

  5. Strain your cocktail into your glass over fresh cubed ice.

  6. Garnish with a slice of fresh chilli.
