The Infante is a nutty, floral twist on the classic Margarita template, from NYC barman and Suffolk Arms owner Giuseppe González. You could use an añejo or reposado tequila, but we think the crisp vegetal funkiness of unaged blanco tequila works best here, playing up the floral notes of the orange flower water (which is also present in orgeat).
The name is an homage to Pedro Infante, the great Mexican actor and musician whose songs are still crooned by mariachis the world over.
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into an ice-filled short glass. Sprinkle with freshly-ground nutmeg.
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.
