La Virgen
0
A shaken tequila reposado drink with lime juice and grenadine, tart and fruity. Plum adds more fruit and orange blossom water a floral note.
La Virgen is built on Alex Ross's El Niño, which normally calls for blanco tequila and strawberries. When ingredients ran low, red syrup and plum stepped in to keep the drink's vivid color. The name likely extends the El Niño and La Niña weather pairing to Mary, the Virgin.
