Savory cocktails are the big thing these days. This version uses fresh cherry tomatoes, mixed with tequila, for a totally unexpected, fresh taste.
Ingredients
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
1 lime wedge
1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups tequila
1/4 cup agave nectar
4 cups chilled club soda
Directions
Muddle 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, lime and salt in a bowl. Stir in tequila and nectar. Let stand for 15 minutes. Press the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. Discard pulp and seeds. Cover and chill 2 hours. Divide the remaining 1/4 cup tomatoes into glasses that have been filled with ice. Add tomato mixture and top with chilled club soda. Stir gently.
Serves 6.
