Heart of Agave Tequila Garden:<\/strong><\/p>\n Tequila and mezcal come from the unlikeliest of sources: the roasted heart of the agave, a spiky desert plant. Roasting it caramelizes the sugar and results in a rich, smoky spirit. To the delight of mixologists everywhere, tequila blends well with spicy herbs like sage as well as sweet summer fruit. Try a twist on the classic margarita with watermelon and \u2018Margarita\u2019 mint.<\/p>\n Agave y Pi\u00f1a:<\/strong> Muddle 1.5 ounces tequila, 2 ounces pineapple juice,\u00a0\u00bd ounce agave nectar, jalape\u00f1o slices, sage leaves and the juice of\u00a0\u00bd lime. Shake with ice, strain into tall glass over ice, top with club soda.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
