• Rocks Glass

Tools

• Ice Sphere Mold
• Lewis Bag
• Cocktail Jigger
• Cocktail Shaker
• Strainer

Prep

Fill an ice sphere mold with water and freeze until solid.

Instructions

Fill a rocks glass with crushed ice. If you dont own a ice crushing machine, crush ice by hand using a Lewis bag and rolling pin. Measure tequila, Chartreuse, lime juice, and simple syrup with a cocktail jigger and add to a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker frosts, about 20-30 seconds. Strain into the rocks glass filled with your freshly crushed ice. Top with ice sphere and garnish with whole star anise. Serve immediately with a green straw.

To make star anise simple syrup: Combine cup white sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Once it reaches a simmer, add 4-6 star anise pods and remove from heat. Let stand 15 minutes, then remove pods and transfer syrup to a food-safe container. Let the syrup cool completely before using in a cocktail. Store leftovers in the fridge.
