Conquistador | Cocktail Party

Conquistador

Veteran barman Sam Ross says he gave this drink its name because it beats back the ferocity of tequila like a conqueror. It’s no small effort to make a tequila-and-egg-white drink genuinely palatable, but this is the real deal – it’s sippable and refreshing, with notes of citrus and agave.

The original recipe, as published in The PDT Cocktail Book, comes off a bit too sweet for our liking. We’ve reduced the simple syrup a bit, but if you have a sweet tooth you can try it at the original amount of ¾ oz (or 45 mL).

Ingredients

Instructions

Dry-shake all ingredients first without ice, and then add ice and shake again. Double-strain through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled cocktail or coupe glass.

clean, straightforward app

This is a clean, straightforward app that allows you quick access to find drinks to make based on ingredients that you have. I love it because the UI is intuitive and the drink selections are organized into subcategories. If you're looking to make your parties better or just learn how to make a new aperitif/nightcap, this app is for you.
