The Hornets Nest

 

 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 parts Tequila

3/4 parts lime juice

1/2 part simple syrup

1 part pineapple juice

1 tsp sweet ginger puree

Lime wedge for garnish

Preparation:

1. Add everything to a shaker with ice and shake
2. Strain onto fresh ice in a highball glass.
3. Garnish with a lime wedge.

*To make your own ginger puree:

Cut thin slices of fresh ginger and process in a food processor or blender until smooth. Optionally, add a teaspoon of sugar. Place the puree into an ice cube tray and freeze. Place the cubes in a bag or sealed container in the freezer until ready to make the drink. 1 cube makes about 2 tablespoons (depending on the size of the cube tray) and takes just a few minutes to thaw.
