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.
