Lessons of Mixology: gardeners drinks

We take a class with the "herbal mixologist" Hotel Rosewood Mayakoba

Green Harvest

Using fresh herbs there is no limit. In Agave Azul experiment with citronella, rosemary, thyme and some chiles. The habanero infused in mezcal is a particularly suitable combination.

Take the time

Infusions and macerated are increasingly common in mixology use. To achieve the flavors of herbs and chilies are impregnated, you have to invest a couple of days. In Chile, for example, you have to remove the veins and seeds, leaving the mezcal resting with chilli and keep trying their evolution.

Everything at hand

There are basic tools that will make your task easier. Minimum: A shaker, a shaker cup, a spoon, a gauge and a strainer.

Lots of ice

What you'll need.

A touch of salt
