The Metexa is one of the 15 Tequila based drinks in the Café Royal Cocktail Book, published in 1937. I have written the recipe as it appears in the book, which happens to be in parts, rather than ounces or ml.
1/4 Tequila
1/4 Swedish Punch
1/2 Lillet
Shake
Once again, please use a 100% Agave Tequila!
The recipe calls for the drink to be shaken, but try a stirred version as well and see what gives you more fancy for your tickle.
Swedish punch can be difficult to get hold of, so if your local supplier does not stock it, it is available over the internet. If all else fails, you could try making your own…
