Tequila Highball

Directions

1. 1.

   Stir 1 teaspoon elderflower cordial or syrup, 1 1/2 ounces añejo tequila, and two 3x1" strips lemon zest, thinly sliced lengthwise, in an ice-filled highball glass until very cold, about 30 seconds. Top off with club soda.

2. 2.

   Using a small serrated knife, remove a 1" strip of peel from a lemon (some white pith is okay); it should be stiff enough to provide some resistance when bent. Twist over drink to express oils; discard.
