1 ounce strawberry-infused tequila, 1 ounce Cynar liqueur, ½ ounce gin, ½ ounce hemp syrup, 2 dashes hemp bitters
Fill the stirring glass with ice and use a bar spoon to stir well, for about 30 seconds.
Use a cocktail strainer to strain the liquid into a serving glass (preferably a stemmed glass, like a Nick and Nora style glass).
Cut a slit in the bottom of a whole strawberry and add it to the rim of the serving glass as a garnish. If you want, you can slide the strawberry all the way around the rim for a little extra burst of strawberry aroma.
1 strawberry
Serve and enjoy!

Notes

See this section for instructions on how to make your own strawberry-infused tequila. If you don't have time to make it, you can also muddle (mash up) a strawberry into your cocktail mixing glass before adding the rest of the ingredients. It will change the texture of the drink, but you'll still get some nice strawberry flavors in there. You might want to shake this drink instead of stirring it if you use the fresh fruit.
The Hemp Tea syrup and Hemp bitters were gifted to me by Bluestem Botanicals. I highly recommend them! But, if you don't have them, you can substitute with plain simple syrup and Angostura bitters.
