Review:

I believe this cocktail works better with the freshness of blanco rather than lightly aged reposado tequila, or indeed rose-coloured tequila. The original recipe omits Creole bitters, but this addition contributes colour and complexity of flavour.

Adapted from a recipe created in 2023 by Adam George Fournier at Spago restaurant in Los Angeles, California, USA. The original recipe is based on Tequila Komos Reposado Rosa rose-coloured tequila, house-made salted lychee cordial, manzanilla sherry, elderflower liqueur, and fresh lime juice.

We reduced the Elderflower liqueur to 10ml, to give room for the Lychee liqueur. Perverse as we are, we're going to go with an Anejo next time...who knows?
