The Drinking Guide
The Agave’s Knees
The Raconteur, fresh lemon and orange, sweetened with Sammy agave and finished with an orange twist.
Ingredients
45 ml Sammy Piquant Raconteur
15 ml fresh lemon juice
15 ml fresh orange juice
10 ml Sammy Piquant agave, undiluted as supplied
Glassware: 170–190 ml petite, rounded-bowl stemmed coupe
Ice: Cubed ice for shaking; no serving ice
Garnish: One broad orange-peel twist
Method
Preparation
Strain freshly squeezed orange juice to remove coarse pulp. Sammy agave replaces the honey component, with no honey syrup required.
Make the cocktail
1. Chill the coupe. Combine the four measured ingredients in a shaker with cubed ice.
2. Shake briskly for 8–10 seconds, then double-strain into the coupe.
3. Twist the orange peel over the drink to release its oils and place it on the rim.
