The Hank

“As much as I love fancy ingredients, infusions, syrups, bitters, etc., sometimes it’s best to get back to basics. For the no-nonsense drinker, there is the Hank. Named after my father, who has one every night, this was the first cocktail recipe I ever learned. A decent reposado tequila, fresh-squeezed lime and orange juices, and just the right proportions will make this drink delicious. A great option for those no-sugar-added types or after a long night of mixing complicated drinks.”

1. Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice.

2. Shake and strain into an ice-filled tumbler.

3. Garnish with a twist of lime.
