Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Reposado tequila — Lobos 1707 — PX sherry-cask finish — recommended

  • 0.75 oz Fresh lime juice

Story

After shifting focus to Lobos 1707 Reposado, we discussed how its specific PX sherry finish requires different handling than standard tequilas. You landed on this recipe as a way to use Del Santo as a savory accent rather than a primary base, with salt bridging the wood and herb flavors.

Method

  1. Add tequila, Del Santo, lime, and bitters to a shaker.
  2. Shake with ice until cold.
  3. Strain into a rocks glass over one large clear ice cube.
  4. Garnish with a lime wheel and top the ice with a pinch of sea salt.

Notes

  • The salt is non-negotiable — it suppresses the bitterness of the Del Santo and amplifies the agave.
