Review:

A riff on a Margarita with orgeat replacing the usual orange liqueur, so disguising it with alluring almond/marzipan notes. Some versions call for rose rather than orange blossom water, but floral orange seems more appropriate than rose to replace the orange liqueur.

History:

Named after Mexican actor and singer Pedro Infante Cruz (1917-1957), who acted in more than 60 films and recorded over 350 songs.

Adapted from a recipe created in 2009 by Giuseppe González at Dutch Kills bar in Long Island City, New York City. I added a splash of egg white and switched from nutmeg to cinnamon for the garnish in January 2025 after enjoying an Infante at Pictura in the Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid, Spain.

I tried that one with rose water and its very ellegant. On top a bit of nutmeg powder. On the sweet side. Not for every body but i think its an underrated cocktail. I Will also try it changing orgeat syrup for falernum syrup.
