Out of State

The Out of State pairs tequila with carrot purée, sweetened by agave syrup that has been infused with kaffir lime leaf.

Ingredients

• 2 ½ ounces tequila
• ⅓ ounce kaffir lime leaf syrup
• 1 ounce carrot purée or carrot juice
• ½ ounce fresh lime juice
• ½ ounce egg whites
• Lime zest
• lime slice

1 serving

Preparation

1. Combine the ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously. (Drinks with egg whites require longer and harder shaking for the egg to emulsify.) Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, and garnish with the lime zest and lime slice.

• To make kaffir lime syrup, blend 3 or 4 fresh kaffir lime leaves with 4 ounces of agave (or simple) syrup, steep for two hours, then strain. For the carrot purée, blend 6 ounces of cooked carrots with 2 ounces of carrot juice until smooth.
