Agave Kiss

February 13th, 2009 by Devon

Last minute Valentine’s Day cocktail? We are ON IT.

You never really see Tequila mentioned in a mixed drink recipe, but trust me - this one is slammin’. And hopefully, you will be too when  you whip up a few of these Agave Kiss cocktails tomorrow for Valentine’s Day. See what I did there? I’m like cupid, but with liquor; you know, like a much better version of cupid.

This smooth, creamy cocktail is the perfect balance of complementary flavors that would otherwise compete with one another, if you were to leave out any one of these ingredients. Just like any good relationship.

Agave Kiss - Recipe:

  • 2 oz silver tequila
  • 1 oz white créme de cacao
  • 1 oz double cream
  • 1/2 oz Chambord
  • Shaved white chocolate flakes
  • Fresh raspberries for garnish

Since it’s Valentine’s day after all, I’d suggest going with some call liquors for this one: Patrón for the tequila, and Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur for the créme de cacao. In a cocktail shaker with ice, add the tequila, créme de cacao, double cream and Chambord. Shake for 15 - 20 seconds, and strain into a cocktail/martini glass, rimmed with shaved white chocolate. Add a spear of fresh raspberries, and serve.
