Celebrate National Tequila Day with a Spicy Jawn at Stratus Lounge

Today is National Tequila Day, and Stratus Lounge thinks the best way to celebrate is with Philly inspired cocktail in hand – on a rooftop of course.

The Spicy Jawn ($14) combines heat from serrano infused tequila with a touch of sweetness from melon syrup, rounded out with sour lime juice. Here is the recipe below:

• 1.5oz serrano infused Herradura Blanco Tequila

• .75oz Lime Juice

• .75oz Melon Syrup

• Tajin

• Lime wheels, for garnish

Infused Tequila Recipe

For every 1 liter bottle of blanco tequila, 6 serrano peppers are sliced and allowed to infuse into the tequila in a separate container for 48 hours at room temperature. After infusion time is complete, the strain off peppers and bottle. Must be kept cold.

Enjoy!
