Ingredients
For the Ginger Juice:
1 knob fresh ginger, about 1 1/2 ounces, peeled
For the Cocktail:
1 1/2 ounces fresh ripe mango, diced
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
3/4 ounces freshly squeezed juice from 1 lemon
1/2 ounce ginger juice
1/3 ounce simple syrup
2 ounces reposado tequila
Garnish: cilantro leaves
Directions
Slice ginger into chunks and place in bottom of mixing glass. Muddle until broken up well, about 1 minute. Strain juice through fine-mesh strainer, pressing on solids with the back of a spoon to extract juice.
In a cocktail shaker, muddle mango, cilantro, lemon juice, ginger juice, and simple syrup until the mango is completely dissolved. Fill shaker with 2/3 full with ice and add tequila. Shake until well chilled, about 15 seconds. Using a strainer, pour into a serving glass filled with ice. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
