Toreador

A tequila sour rounded with apricot — lime, agave spirit, and stone fruit. A pre-Margarita-era agave classic, soft and sunny.

Shake tequila, apricot liqueur, and lime juice with ice. Double-strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lime wheel.

Notes

A 1930s-40s tequila drink from the early Mexican cocktail canon. The apricot does what the orange liqueur does in a Margarita, gentler and rounder.
