Flying Solo Cocktail

Flying Solo Cocktail

Louis Hirsch, the GM of Morels Steakhouse & Bistro at The Palazzo in Las Vegas, created this nod to reluctant rebel pilot and all-around intergalactic heartthrob Han Solo because only a person of his confidence could find a positive use for that pink-headed stepchild of the wine world, white zinfandel.

¹⁄₂ oz Agave nectar

¹⁄₂ oz Fresh lemon juice

How to make The Flying Solo Cocktail

Combine the tequila, agave nectar and juice into a shaker with ice and shake.

Cut a hole in the corner of a lemon wheel (so it looks like the Death Star) and garnish.

Add a straw.
