September Book Club: Frank Herbert‘s Dune

Nerds of the Old Republic: The Drinking Person’s #Scifi Club

Grab your shaker and copy of Frank Herbert's Dune for our first read of the fall! We've got a special episode here where we mix up and compare not one, but two cocktails!

The recipe below comes from our friends over at liquor.com:

Ingredients
1 lime wedge
2 jalapeno coins, seeds removed
2 ounces blanco tequila
1/2 ounce orange liqueur
1 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
1/2 ounce agave syrup
Garnish: salt rim
Garnish: jalapeno coin

Steps
Rub the rim of a rocks glass with a lime wedge, dip the rim in salt to coat, and set aside.

Add the jalapeno coins to a shaker and gently muddle.

Add the blanco tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice and agave syrup, plus ice, and shake until well-chilled.

Strain into the prepared glass over fresh ice.

Garnish with a jalapeno coin.

For our second drink of the night, repeat the above recipe, but replace tequila with mezcal -- read more about this smokey tequila relative here -- and let your world be changed. Spoiler: we all loved the mezcal margarita. Very. Much.
