Basil Mint Tequila | Fresh picks for Cinco de Mayo from our organic garden
Feliz cinco de mayo, from the photographer's garden! Spice up your favorite tequila with some fresh picked herbal flavors like basil & mint! Finish it off with himalayan rock salt.
We don't drink often, but when we do it's great to enjoy something fresh, organic and (relatively) low sugar. Traditionally celebrated in Mexico and by Mexican Americans, Cinco de Mayo is not actually the Mexican Independence day as many people believe, but instead commemorates a landmark military victory by the underdog Mexican army over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862. I can't wait to try this basil, mint, lemon + tequila concoction tonight for Cinco de Mayo, especially with our colossal organically home grown sweet basil leaves. Ever since we added our fish emulsion and worm juice fertilizers from our vermiculture boxes, our basil plants have been thriving! And no, they aren't the same sort of worms that are in mezcal tequila! :)
