Dublin Fire Brigade
Mixed by Sarah Pencheff – Head Bartender, Foragers Table
Ingredients:
- 1.5 oz. Soltado Tequila
- .5 oz. Pür Blossom Elderflower Liqueur (or St Germain)
- 1 oz. fresh lime juice
- .25 oz. Light Agave syrup
- Cucumber
- Thai Basil (or regular)
- Orange Twist
Directions:
In a shaker, muddle 5 slices of cucumber, 5 basil leaves, and the agave, until well pulverized.
Add Soltado, Pür (or St Germain), lime juice, and ice. Shake well.
Strain into a martini glass. Express (squeeze) the orange twist over the glass so the orange oil mists over the surface. Roll the twist into a flame shape and hold in place as a skewer, and use to garnish.
Enjoy!

[…] For spicy food fans, Foragers mixes in a little sriracha sauce for an added kick. Pair it with the Dublin Fire Brigade cocktail, or a Guinness […]
Great cocktail, definitely much better with the dryer pür•likör elderflower liqueur.
