Poison Lips

2 oz Tequila
3⁄4 oz Mirto
3⁄4 oz Lemon
1 oz Ginger liqueur, Domaine de Canton
2 ds Lavender bitters
Instructions

Shake, strain, up

Notes

Mirto is such a unique flavor and I was looking for some good recipes. The orginal was too sweet and the Mirto was lost, so I changed it up a bit by replacing the ginger syrup with ginger liqueur and adjusting proportions. I believe it's nicely balanced now and you can taste the Mirto without it overpowering. Ginger is a bit lost, but it adds a bit of spice on the swallow.
