History

Adapted from a recipe created by Ana Alicia Herrera at Pal Real in Guadalajara, Mexico. This was the Mexican Bacardí Legacy 2018 winning cocktail.

The inspiration comes from something I learned in New Orleans when I first became a bartender. Devil Woman is a new twist on a classic Gibson Martini.

Ana Alicia Herrera, 2018

To say that we seldom enjoy a Martini would be an understatement. But this one caught our eye. For the bitter, we used Tempus Fugit which, perhaps, introduces just a hint of fruitiness. The garnish, as specified, was a bridge too far so we simply floated a Rose petal. There's really lovely balance and complexity here.

I grew up by the sea, on the Costa Branca (as the early Portuguese navigators are reputed to have referred to it). A Mediterranean climate. Everyone had a lemon tree in their garden. That sort of thing can become a part of one's DNA.
