Ingredients

  • 1 (2 to 3-inch) knob fresh ginger, about 1 1/2 ounces, peeled
  • 1 1/2 ounces fresh ripe mango, diced (about 1/4 cup)
  • 1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
  • 3/4 ounces freshly squeezed juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/2 ounce ginger juice
  • 1/3 ounce simple syrup (see note)
  • 2 ounces reposado tequila
  • Garnish: cilantro leaves

Method

  • Slice ginger into chunks and place in bottom of mixing glass. Muddle until broken up well, about 1 minute. Strain juice through fine-mesh strainer, pressing on solids with the back of a spoon to extract juice.
  • In a cocktail shaker, muddle mango, cilantro, lemon juice, ginger juice, and simple syrup until the mango is completely dissolved.
  • Fill shaker with 2/3 full with ice and add tequila. Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Using a strainer, pour into a serving glass filled with ice. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
