Iki Beer

"Iki is Japanese for life. Iki refreshes. Green tea not only gives Iki its body, it also enriches Iki with high levels of natural antioxydants. Yuzu fruit gives Iki its citrus fragrance."

A pretty good and tasty beer flavoured with green tea and yuzu.

Herradura Tequila Reposado

"On the high plains of Jalisco, at the foothills of the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains, you will find the Herradura estate. It is here that Herradura has been produced and bottled since 1870.
"Herradura is made naturally from 100% blue agave, with no additives. Only the finest blue agave, harvested at their prime after years of careful cultivation are used to make Herradura.
"Herradura Reposado. Savor the smooth taste of this natural Reposado tequila. Enjoy it straight or make a real margarita. Taste the legend... Tequiila Herradura(R)."

Aged 11 month. A very fine and smooth reposado which I used to make a Chiapas Old Fashioned, as described on my bottle of Elmegirab's Dandelion & Burdock Bitters:

• 50 mL tequila reposado (Herradura)
• 12.5 mL green tea infused sugar syrup (rich unrefined sugar syrup)
• 2 dashes Dandelion & Burdock Bitters
• Strip white grapefruit zest

Stir liquid ingredients until ice cold and strain over ice in a chilled rocks glass. Rub the rim and garnish with the grapefruit zest.

40% ABV. Read more on Herradura website.
