Raicilla is a traditional alcoholic beverage from the Jalisco region, distilled from the agave plant. Casa Maltraña, a distillery deeply rooted in local traditions, offers us their excellent raicilla as the star ingredient for this cocktail.
Ingredients:
1.5 ounces of Casa Maltraña Raicilla
1 ounce of pineapple juice
0.5 ounces of orange juice
0.5 ounces of grapefruit juice
0.5 ounces of real lime juice
1/8 ounce of agave honey
Ice cubes 🧊
Instructions:
In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes to fill about halfway, chilling both the equipment and the ingredients.
Pour 1.5 ounces of the authentic Casa Maltraña Raicilla over the ice in the shaker. The raicilla, with its smoky character and earthy flavors, will serve as the perfect base for this unparalleled taste experience.
Add 1 ounce of pineapple juice, 0.5 ounces of orange juice, and 0.5 ounces of grapefruit juice. These citrus juices will provide freshness and a harmonious balance of flavors that will complement the raicilla's nuances.
Squeeze 0.5 ounces of real lime juice to add a hint of acidity that will enhance the cocktail's complexity.
To sweeten and soften the mixture, add 1/8 ounce of agave honey. The agave honey, a hallmark of the region, will contribute natural sweetness that beautifully blends with the other ingredients.
It's mixing time! Shake the cocktail shaker vigorously for a few seconds to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined and flavors meld seamlessly.
Prepare an old-fashioned glass and place fresh ice cubes inside.
Strain the mixture from the shaker onto the ice in the glass.
Optionally, you can garnish the cocktail with a pineapple slice, a twist of orange peel, or a grapefruit twist to elevate its visual presentation.
You're now ready to savor the exquisite Maltrahoney cocktail. This libation, which marries the authenticity of Casa Maltraña raicilla with the zest of fruit juices and the gentle sweetness of agave honey, will take your senses on a direct journey to the agave fields of Jalisco. Cheers!
Remember to enjoy responsibly and share this unique flavor with friends and loved ones. Until the next gastronomic adventure! 🍹🌵
