Garnish:
Orange zest twist and a mist of Liquore Strega from an atomizer over drink
How to make:
STIR first four ingredients with ice and strain into chilled glass.
1 1/3 fl oz | Del Maguey Vida Clásico mezcal |
2/3 fl oz | Lillet Blanc (or other aromatized wine) |
1/3 fl oz | Luxardo Maraschino liqueur |
1 dash | Peychaud's or other Creole-style bitters |
Review:
Mezcal lends a lightly smoky note to this riff on the classic Tuxedo. This boozy Martini-esque cocktail makes for a great aperitif.
Variant:
Tuxedo "Original" - equal parts (1½oz/45ml) old tom gin and (1½oz/45ml) dry vermouth with 2 dashes maraschino; 1 dash absinthe; 2 or 3 dashes of orange bitters.
Tuxedo No. 1 (Savoy & Duffy's recipe) - equal parts dry gin and dry vermouth with lemon peel and absinthe.
Tuxedo No. 2 (Savoy & Duffy's recipe) - equal parts dry gin and dry vermouth with maraschino, orange bitters and absinthe.
Tuxedo No. 3 (Lowe & Straub's recipe) - two-thirds dry gin to one-third dry vermouth with sherry, maraschino, absinthe and aromatic bitters.
Tuxedo No.4 (AKA Tussetto) - two-thirds dry gin to one-third dry sherry with orange bitters.
Tuxedo (Difford's recipe) - as per the "Original" but with dry sherry and some balancing sweetness by splitting dry and bianco vermouths.
Flora Bar's Tuxedo No.2 - in an absinthe-rinsed glass with dry gin, bianco vermouth, maraschino liqueur and orange bitters.
