Citrus Cactus

Bright and citrus-forward with a lively sour backbone from lemon and lime, tempered by grenadine sweetness and a subtle anise/licorice lift from Pernod. A small amount of egg creates a smooth, slightly frothy texture while the crushed ice keeps it refreshingly cold and visually inviting. Worth trying if you like tequila cocktails that balance sharp citrus, a touch of sweetness, and an herbal twist.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Tequila Blanco
  • 1 tsp Pernod®
  • 0.5 oz Lemon Juice
  • 0.5 oz Lime Juice
  • 0.5 oz Sugar Syrup
  • 1 tsp Egg
  • 1 tsp Grenadine

Instructions

  1. Combine the silver tequila, Pernod licorice liqueur, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar syrup, egg, and grenadine syrup in a shaker.
  2. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously until well-chilled.
  3. Strain the mixture into a double-cocktail glass filled with crushed ice.
