...my new favourite drink!Now I would call a shot a slammer. With a wedge of lime and a lick of salt.
Last weekend I was at a restaurant in Halifax, Two Doors Down, and on the menu they had a drink called a Tequila Slammer.
It sounded interesting, tequila, ginger simple syrup, pressed lemon, and topped with ginger beer.
Well you just know I had to try one...or two!
Now to make my own...
I bought the tequila they used, and have made a few since Friday trying to get it just perfect.
I don't know (don't remember) if it tastes like the one I had last weekend, but it's pretty damn good.
Ginger Tequila Slammer
1 1/2 oz Mialgro Resosado Tequila
1 1/2 oz ginger simple syrup
1/2 lemon, juice
top with ginger beer, I was looking for Propeller, bought Crabbies
Ginger Simple Syrup
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
fresh ginger, peeled and cut in pieces, I used about 6 inches
Boil together, and then remove from stove and let steep for about an hour.
Keep in the fridge.
Oh yum! Not quite the same colour...but it might have been a difference in colour in the beer. Or maybe I was heavy handed...
