Notes & Review

A relatively tasty and unique stirred blanco tequila cocktail. The orange bitters and grapefruit twist add the zest while the blanc vermouth and St. Germain add sweetness and complexity. A nose of smoked grapefruit with elderflower. Would be interesting with a salt rim, even if that's a big stirred cocktail faux pas.
