This is a weird one. I was feeling experimental today, made one drink that went straight down the drain (fresh OJ & lemon, vodka, absinthe, St. Germaine, don’t ask) but this I am enjoying, tart, smoky, bitter. Sort of a margarita variation.
1.5oz blanco tequila
.5 each of
Tawny port
Mezcal
Aperol
Lemon juice
Shaken with not too much ice, served over big ice. I think next time no lemon (port tart enough), stir not shake and crushed ice, but the flavors are working.
Sorry for the fuzzy picture, the cat says hi!
And does anyone have a good absinthe orange flavor cocktail? I don’t think the fresh juice works with it.
I LOVE the mid-stride kitty. It’s like if you were at a restaurant, taking a pic of your drink, and caught a passerby like someone walking on the sidewalk, in the photo
