False Sunlight

FALSE SUNLIGHT

  • 2 oz. / 60 ml. tequila blanco

  • ¾ oz. / 22.5 ml. fresh lemon juice

  • ½ oz. / 15 ml. cantaloupe syrup

  • ¼ oz. / 7.5 ml. agave syrup

  • Peychaud’s bitters to float

METHOD
add all ingredients to shaker tin / add ice and shake until chilled / strain into a glass over fresh ice / float Peychaud’s bitters over the surface / garnish with a lemon twist

ABOUT
I came up with this one after making cantaloupe syrup for the Jets to Brazil cocktail I posted earlier. Tequila felt like the right move—it plays well with summer fruit and keeps things bright. I’m a sucker for a bitters float, and the color contrast never misses. Cheers y’all!
