Thai V.

I love to bartend and this recipe was a little harder to decipher since it calls for cups instead of ounces. If you have a bartending ounce or ounce and 1/2 glass, I tweaked the recipe so it still tastes delicious but can be spread out for a larger crowd or simplified down to one. Use 2 oz. tequila and 1 oz. of the herbed simple sugar. I also squeeze in some lime. Shake over crushed ice, strain, and pour into a tall collins glass. Top the rest with ginger beer. Enjoy!
