How to make it

Tip: Pour each layer slowly over the back of a bar spoon, heaviest first.

About the Mexican Flag

The red, green and clear layers stand in for the colours of the Mexican flag, which makes it a Cinco de Mayo regular. Some versions use melon liqueur for the green layer.

Missing something?

  • No Grenadine? Use Raspberry Syrup (Berry instead of pomegranate)
  • No Green Crème de Menthe? Use White Crème de Menthe (Same flavour, clear)
  • No Tequila? Use Tequila Reposado (Rounder, a little oak)
  • No Tequila? Use Mezcal (Adds smoke)
