EL ELOTE

Short cocktail glass with one large ice cube and husk of corn on the side of the glass, displaying an Elote Nixta Corn Liqueur cocktail.

Ingredients

2 oz CASA J Tequila Blanco

1.5 oz Nixta corn liqueur  

1 oz fresh lemon juice

.5 oz piloncillo syrup

Instructions

To prepare your garnish, boil corn for up to ten minutes until cooked. Place one piece of husk to the side. Once the corn is cooked, slice a three inch piece with kernels and place directly over fire or on a cast iron pan for a light char. Cut a piece of the corn husk and lightly place over fire for a few seconds, and blow out the flame once charred. Place these items aside. Pour all cocktail ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir for 20 seconds. Set a large ice rock into your glass, and pour the liquid into the glass. Garnish the ice with your charred corn, and the cold exterior of the glass with your husk. Option to use honey to ensure husk stays on glass exterior.

Adjustment

Option to use agave syrup instead of piloncillo syrup.
