- ¾ oz Agave Nectar

We enjoy this great concoction in late summer when ground cherries are in season. Ground cherries look like a tiny grape tomatoes, but are fruit-like sweet. The ground cherries provide the sweet, fresh, fruity taste that pairs well with the complexity of the tequila and tartness of the lime. Make sure to drown the ground cherries in the tequila before muddling them, otherwise they’ll try to escape your glass. If gin is more your thing, be sure to check out our Ground Cherry Martini.
