Infante

Tequila is such an underrated ingredient in cocktails. Few recipes meet the funky, vegetal undertones of the stuff in a way that brings out the best in it.

That’s where the Infante, from NYC barman and Suffolk Arms owner Giuseppe González, comes in. The nutty, floral flavors of the orgeat and orange flower water and the dusting of nutmeg are just the kick-in-the-pants that the staid old Margarita template needed to become new and fresh.

The name is an homage to Pedro Infante, the great Mexican actor and musician whose songs are still crooned by mariachis the world over.
