🗒️ In This Post
The first time I had a “sour” drink was an Amaretto Sour at Bandera’s restaurant and I quickly fell in love with it. Being a tequila lover, I started drinking tequila sours right after! I think the lime juice, with the sweet chamomile infused simple syrup go perfect together.
This is one of those drinks that you can make ahead and just add the last touches at the last minute. I’m all about pretty drinks, specially when served in pretty cocktail glasses. This chamomile cocktail is perfect for a get together with your Chicas!
The essentials
For this recipe I only use a few ingredients that you probably have on hand already :
- For the chamomile simple syrup, use regular chamomile tea bags, white sugar and water.
- To make the cocktail you need fresh lime juice, a good tequila like Corralejo or Chamucos, chamomile simple syrup, lime slices or chamomile flowers for garnish, 2 ounces fresh lime juice from about 2 large limes and 1.5 ounces of tequila
How to make a Chamomile Tequila Sour
Make ahead: the simple syrup can be made ahead of time. You can keep it covered in your fridge for up to a month.
- Combine water, sugar and natural sweetener in a small saucepan and bring to a soft boil. Stir to dissolve the sugar. At this point steep the chamomile tea bags for at least 30 minutes
- To mix, just add the lime juice, tequila, and chamomile simple syrup in a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake for about 15 seconds.
- Pour and enjoy!
