Cinco de Mayo Cocktail: Coctel de Lujo

Bartender Kelly Lopez of Tacombi Flatiron, New York City, combines strawberry, fresh ginger and mint with Casa Dragones Blanco to create a spicy, sweet summer cocktail. The sweetness of the strawberry and simple syrup enhances the semi-sweet notes of agave found in Tequila Casa Dragones Blanco, while the ginger brings out the crisp pepper notes. Topped with sparkling wine for a fresh balanced taste, the Coctel de Lujo is a tribute to the best of Mexico.
