Seasonal

In anticipation of getting the San Miguel gin expression from Old Harbor— with notes of cilantro, lime, and cucumber— I immediately thought of salsa. To bring in some key salsa flavors, I made a shrub with tomato, red bell pepper, hatch chili, and cilantro. The final product is fresh, vegetal, and fits perfectly with the gin to create a slightly savory and super flavorful cocktail!

I love trying new ingredients, learning new techniques, and of course, creating new cocktails-- especially ones influenced by food in some way. I also love the photography/videography side of things. I’m incredibly passionate about my craft but try not to take myself too seriously. Cheers!...

Please see the website link for instructions on making the salsa shrub. Combine all ingredients and shake with ice until chilled. Double strain over ice cubes in rocks glass and garnish with fresh cilantro.

Editor's Note

A savory sour built for a Southwestern gin. A house-made salsa shrub—tomato, pepper, chili, cilantro—bridges the gap between gin and tequila for a cocktail that drinks like fresh pico de gallo.
