Shake up a Gurney's cocktail

DIY one of the most-requested sips at Gurney's Star Island Resort & Marina, from beverage manager Jarhn Blutstein.

1 Tequila, 2 Tequila

To begin with, take a bottle of Blanco Tequila and place 1 Jalapeño + 2 Habaneros (or 3 Jalapeños) sliced into the bottle. Let this sit for 25 minutes and immediately strain out the peppers and any seeds. Pro tip: at Gurney’s Star Island, they like to use light blue agave and we mix it equal parts of 1 cup of agave to 1 cup of warm water and mix it until it incorporates.

Recipe:

1.5oz Blanco infused pepper tequila .5oz Reposado tequila .5oz Fresh lime .5oz Agave mixture 2 Strawberries (green tops cut off) *garnish with Aleppo pepper/kosher salt rim

Take a lime wedge and coat 1/3 of the rim (about ½ inch deep) of your glass & dip it into your salt/spice rim

Muddle strawberries in your mixing tin, add the rest of your ingredients with ice to the tin.

Shake and then strain over fresh ice into your rimmed glass! Cheers!
