Yum Alert: Ground To Glass Cocktail

Written by Olga

The Ground To Glass cocktail is my favorite cocktail of all time. Not even joking.

I’m totally obsessed with this cocktail from The Summit Bar. In fact, it’s probably my favorite cocktail in Manhattan. It’s made with tequila but it doesn’t taste like girly alcohol. I can’t wait to drink one later tonight. Happy Friday, y’all.

Ingredients

1 cucumber slice, muddled

2 oz. Corralejo Anejo Tequila

3⁄4 oz. red pepper purée (made in blender)

1 oz. fresh-squeezed lime juice

3⁄4 oz. agave nectar

Dash of orange bitters (try Fee Brothers homemade version)

Directions

Shake and then strain into double old fashioned glass garnished with hickory salt on half of the rim.
