“Suspicious Lady” cocktail

For a tequila-based Suspicious Lady cocktail, you can make it more interesting by adding a little more harmony of flavors. Here’s my version:

“Shady Lady ” – updated recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 50 ml tequila (Two Fingers or other brand to taste)
  • 25 ml melon liqueur (Midori or other melon liqueur)
  • 75 ml freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
  • 10 ml lime juice (to balance the acidity)
  • 10 ml agave syrup (or sugar syrup for softness)
  • Ice

Preparation:

  1. Fill the shaker with ice.
  2. Add tequila, melon liqueur, grapefruit and lime juices, and agave syrup.
  3. Shake the shaker thoroughly.
  4. Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass (such as an Old Fashioned or highball).
  5. Garnish with a grapefruit slice or melon slice to finish.

The cocktail will now have a more balanced flavor with added citrus freshness and a slight sweetness.
