Recipe #3

THIS IS NOT A MARGARITA

Ingredients (for 1 glass)

  • 50 ml of JNPR No. 1
    30 ml lime juice
    10 ml of orange syrup

preparation

Squeeze a fresh lime and strain the juice. Rim a coupette glass with salt: see how to rim a glass* below. In a shaker, combine the orange syrup, JNPR No. 1, lime juice, and ice. Stir vigorously. Pour into the coupette glass, straining to remove the ice. *To rim a glass: spread salt on a plate. Moisten the rim of the glass by rubbing a lemon wedge around it. Turn it upside down and dip the wet rim into the plate, tilting it slightly and rotating it to create an even coating. Turn the glass upside down and tap lightly to remove excess salt.
