The Guadalajara is a rare sparkling tequila cocktail, found on the inimitable Cocktail Virgin blog and attributed to bar manager Ashish Mitra at Boston’s Russell House Tavern.
It’s a tremendously refreshing drink, with the crispness of the mint and the lemon and bubbly bringing out the bright vegetal notes of the tequila. You could get away with an aged tequila, but blanco is best here if you have it.
Shake all ingredients (except for the sparkling wine) with ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail or coupe glass. Top with the sparkling wine and garnish with a lemon twist.
The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It’s the best $3.99 you’ll ever spend on a drink.
