Notes
- Tasters preferred amber agave over light agave in this tequila gimlet for its slightly bolder flavor. Feel free to substitute a 1 to 1 demerara simple syrup or other simple syrup if you do not have agave nectar..
- Double straining removes all of the citrus pulp and ice shards from your cocktail.
- You can also serve a tequila gimlet in a rocks glass over ice.
