We originally published these cocktail recipes during Dry January for those of you who couldn’t stay away from the bar and just plain hated seltzer!

But on a second look realized, they’re perfect for all year long, especially in Summer climes for a light thirst-quenching afternoon.

Reps from Tequila Herradura sent us these low-calorie, slimmed-down options to imbibe without feeling completely guilty.

Kaffir Lime Leaf Spritzer

Ingredients

• 2 oz Herradura Silver

• For Kaffir tea: take 10 Kaffir lime leaves and place in a teapot or other heat proof receptacle and add boiling water. After 10 minutes remove leaves and allow cooling to room temperature.
• For the Lemongrass syrup: cut 2 stems of lemon grass into discs. Place in a hot pan and gently toast for 20 seconds. Add 1 liter of simple syrup and bring to the boil, simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat & allow cooling to room temperature.
• Place all ingredients in to a cocktail shaker filled with cubed ice. Shake hard and strain over ice into a tall glass. Garnish with a lemongrass spear and a mint sprig.
