Recipe: From Spain with Love:

Hocus Pocus Cocktail

TOTAL TIME: 15 MINUTES | SERVINGS: 2 COCKTAILS

Ingredients

4 fl oz jalapeno tequila or reposado tequila / mezcal
2 fl oz St Germain liqueur
2 fl oz green chartreuseor yellow chartreuse
3 fl oz lime juice freshly squeezed
½ fl oz blue curacao only enough to change the cocktail color
crushed ice to serve or mix the cocktail
chili salt I use sal de chapulin here. Tajin can also be used as a substitute.
6 fl oz lime soda optional

Instructions

You can either use the infused tequila or reposado tequila / mezcal for this cocktail.
Rim 2 serving glasses with lime and dip the glasses in the chili salt. Set aside.
chili salt
In a cocktail mixing glass, place the tequila, St Germain liqueur, green chartreuse, and lime juice. 2 fl oz St Germain liqueur, 2 fl oz green chartreuse, 3 fl oz lime juice, 4 fl oz jalapeno tequila
Add a few drops of the blue curacao while stirring until you get the desired green color in the cocktail.
½ fl oz blue curacao
Stir or shake the cocktail to mix. If you're not serving the drink with ice, then add a generous amount of ice to the mixing glass to chill the cocktail. crushed ice
Place crushed ice in the glasses. Strain the cocktail into each of the glasses.
crushed ice
Optional - Top with lime soda if you like.
6 fl oz lime soda
Garnish with a dried lime slice (or fresh lime slice).
Dry ice - You can add a small amount of dry ice to create the smoking, bubbly effect (as seen in the pictures in the post and recipe video). However, only consume the drink after the smoking and bubbling have completely stopped (i.e. the dry ice is completely gone).
