All Mixed Up: Toronto Temperance Society’s Robin Kaufman makes us a fresh springtime cocktail

The cheekily named Toronto Temperance Society is a members-only affair, although those members are, mercifully, allowed to bring guests around to the second-story speakeasy on College Street. Here, Robin Kaufman, one of the bartenders, shows us how to make “La Hoja” ($14), a fresh springtime sipper of his own devising.

DIRECTIONS

1. Muddle cucumber, basil and agave in a boston shaker 2. Add lime, Tequila, Chartreuse and salt 3. Add ice and shake vigorously 4. Double strain into a coupe glass 5. Garnish with basil leaf.
