Comments

A simple and nice sour (stirred!) where the Amargo Vallet's cherry character tones down the tequila. The 1:1 ratio of lemon juice (sour) to agave syrup is a bit off on the sweet side to my palate. I will retry with reduced agave and might sub lime for lemon to see it this steps it up. Simple/good base recipe to work with.
