Kiwi Mint Margarita

Kiwi Margarita

Kiwi Mint Margarita

Bright kiwi meets cool mint and fresh lime, layered over Comisario Blanco tequila for a margarita that is both vibrant and composed. An unexpected pairing refined into clarity, inspired by contrast and balance.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Comisario Blanco
  • 0.75 oz fresh lime juice
  • 0.5 oz fresh kiwi (pressed or puréed, then strained)
  • 0.25 oz agave nectar (very light)
  • 3–4 mint leaves
  • 2 drops saline solution

1. Kiwi refinement

Blend kiwi, then fine strain completely.
You want clean juice, not pulp or seeds.

2. Mint control

Do not muddle aggressively.
Lightly press or “clap” the leaves to release aroma without bitterness.

3. Balance

Taste before shaking:

  • Kiwi should feel bright, not sour
  • Mint should be present only in aroma

Method

  1. Add all ingredients to shaker
  2. Shake with ice (10–12 seconds)
  3. Double strain into chilled coupe or over a clear cube

 

Bright kiwi opens with a sharp, almost electric edge, softened by a quiet lift of mint and anchored by pure agave.

What begins as tension settles into something composed.
Cool, precise, and unexpectedly balanced.

Strawberry Basil Margarita

Strawberry Basil Margarita

Strawberry Basil Margarita

On May 5, 1862, against expectation, resilience prevailed.
This Strawberry Basil Margarita reflects that same quiet strength.
Ripe strawberries softened just enough, lifted by fresh lime and the green clarity of basil, come together over Comisario Blanco, where pure agave speaks with precision and restraint.

What should feel disjointed resolves into balance.
Not by chance, but by intent.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Tequila Comisario Blanco

  • 2 oz Muddled Strawberries

  • 1 oz Lime

  • 1 oz Basil Syrup

  • Sea Salt

1. Muddle
In a shaker, gently muddle the strawberries.
Do not overwork them. You want juice, not pulp.

2. Build
Add:

  • Comisario Blanco
  • Fresh lime juice
  • Basil syrup
  • Pinch of salt

3. Shake
Add ice and shake hard for 10–12 seconds.
You’re integrating fruit, herb, and spirit into one structure.

4. Strain
Double strain into a chilled coupe or over a large cube in a rocks glass.
This keeps the texture refined.

Aromatic, slightly warm, grounded.

Bright fruit meets earth and heat. It shouldn’t settle this cleanly. It does.
