Here's a "Day of the Dead" recipe for La Murte courtesy of Tippling Bros & the Mercadito Restaurants. Enjoy Day of the Dead at all three Mercaditos on Nov 1 & 2 with special menus and this cocktail - $12 if you don't want to try it yourself. We bet it makes a good Halloween hangover drink.
La Murte
2 oz Sauza Hornitos
La Murte
1/2 oz fresh lime
1 oz prickly pear puree
2 dashes rose water
1/2 oz. agave nectar
Shake all ingredients and strain into chilled
cocktail glass, rimmed with ancho salt. Can also be served over ice.
Depending on the puree, more or less agave nectar may be necessary.
