I used Quiquiriqui Espadin Mescal which worked really as it was not too smoky. Every element of the cocktail showed through. I didn’t have any Margarita Bitters so used Peychaud’s Aromatic Cocktail Bitters instead. Thoroughly enjoyable drink.
An excellent cocktail. Agree with Yossi that perhaps more grapefruit if the fruit is slightly sweeter or maybe go with more grapefruit bitters. It does slip down rather easily. Super.
Excellent cocktail. Just served it up with our tapas supper - great match. Had to improvise though as did not have blood orange juice nor rose bubbly. Instead used regular orange juice and made the drink pink with grenadine syrup as well as the orange bitters. Topped it up with very fine sparkling wine from the BURNT HOUSE winery in Suffolk. Delicious cos my wife said so!!!
I went with a variation on the approach from Laurent but used grapefruit bitters instead which I think cut the sweetness just enough. Delicious and refreshing at the same time. Will try the rum version next time.
A refreshing if slightly tart cocktail. On the next go round I upped the vanilla syrup by 50% which cut the tartness and helped accentuate the apricot flavour. Went down easily on a warm sunny evening.
