History:

Created in 2008 by Willy Shine at Contemporary Cocktails Inc. in New York City. The name is a reference to NYC's 212 area code as well as the ounces in the recipe. Willy is also the Partida Tequila Ambassador for NYC so I should point out that this is the brand originally called for in his recipe.

I was out of reposado so made it with a split base of blanco and mezcal and it was lovely.

With freshly squeezed grapefruit juice this is excellent and has interesting chocolatey notes. Really bracing and nicely balanced.

If, like me, you are seeking to rationalise the number of ingredients in your home bar, then this ticks the box on my list for what to make when you have juiced grapefruit. Light and refreshing.

Living in Southern California, we found this wonderful. Very refreshing and perfect with all types of Mexican foods. The Aperol add a wonderful underflavour, but it is about the tequila and grapefruit here. Is going into my favourites. Perfect for summer.
