Rocks glass

Garnish
Half rim of chilli salt

Method
Add all of the ingredients into your shaker. Prepare your glass using a lime wedge to wet it so you can put the chilli salt around the rim. We recommend doing only half of the rim and just on the outside of the glass so its not overpowering. Add ice to the shaker and shake it hard. Pour into the glass over ice. And it’s ready!

Notes & Favourite Flavours

Ocho Tequila* is the world’s first (and only) Single Field tequila. Tequila Ocho is made slowly, in the old-fashioned way, resulting in a high quality spirit designed to accentuate the agave flavour. 100% Estate Grown agave, they don’t use any chemical pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers in any their fields, or on any of their plants and we like that at La Maison Wellness! So not only does this Tequila taste incredible it’s also made with love and respect for the tradition, for the land, the environment and with real care and passion. This family business take their social and environmental responsibility seriously which are the sort of brands that we love. Being a Mindful Drinker is about making conscious decisions, drinking well and of the best quality and pouring with purpose and awareness. This also means supporting mindful businesses!

Check out the brand for more information: they have great sustainability and mentoring programs like the Bat Friendly, to protect the species and preserve the pollination of the agave plant. In this Mindful Cocktail we used the Ocho Tequila Blanco* as it works best in this recipe, but they have 3 different expressions (Blanco, Reposado and Añejo) along with a few other special editions.

DoTerra is an incredible brand of essential oil, they source essential oils from all over the world and work with committed partners to ensure the best growing conditions and produce the purest, highest quality essential oils. When using essential oils it’s really tapping into the power of the plant and therefore you want the best quality- especially when taking internally like in this recipe. If you have any questions about essential oils reach out to our founder at cami@lamaisonwellness.com. In this cocktail we are using the DoTerra Wild Orange Essential Oil* which is a powerful antioxidant and really uplifting for the mood and the energy level.
