Detailed description

Glass Desert is a citrus shots built around tequila. Glass Desert lands with agave up front, then triple sec and lime round it out.

The build centers on 3/4 oz tequila reposado, 1/2 oz triple sec, 1/4 oz lime juice, and 1/4 oz agave syrup. In the glass, a concise home-bar shot with enough personality to earn a spot in a record-worthy recipe archive.

It comes together in 3 minutes and is served in a chilled shot glass. Serve it ice-cold and pour promptly so the citrus edge stays sharp instead of flattening out.
