Agave Julep
Description: This drink looks like a mojito. I made it and for me it's too tart. DH liked it. But another time I may add more sugar syrup. Feel free to adjust. This is from 501 Must-Drink Cocktails.
Ingredients:
- 8 torn mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon sugar syrup (it's very tart, so you may add more)
- 1 1/4 ounces gold tequila
- 1 1/4 ounces fresh lime juice
- lime wedge, to decorate
- mint sprig, to decorate
Steps:
- Muddle the mint leaves with the sugar syrup in a highball glass. Add the tequila and lime juice, fill the glass with crushed ice, and stir vigorously to mix. Decorate with a lime wedge and a mint sprig.
