Previous cocktail
Palermo'tini
Next cocktail
Caprese Martini
Bellini Margarita
As the name suggests, a peachy Margarita. (I prefer straight-up, but this fruity Margarita is arguably 'peachier' when strained over ice.)
Brandy Boulevardier
Choose your brandy well (perhaps reach for your finest cognac) and you'll experience a refined Boulevardier/Negroni
Saramago
Elderflower liqueur tones and adds floral notes to this Tequila Martini variation
21st & ¼ Century
A coconut rum and gentian charged riff on the 20th Century Cocktail
S & M (Smoke & Mulberry)
Best made with a smoky mezcal to intertwine with sloe gin's berry fruitiness, subtle layers of herbal vanilla vermouth and delicate bitter chocolate
