History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2017 by Jeff Berry at Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29, New Orleans, USA which was brought to our attention by gazregan.com where we learnt that "A Mexican base + a French modifier = Juan + Jeanne."

Our recipe says broadly true to Jeff's original proportions, but we've reduced all the ingredients by 12% to suit a medium-sized coupe.

Nice balance. There is sweetness upfront but it is quickly balanced by the lime juice and blood orange liqueur (Solerno). The tequila comes through very nicely at the end.

reduce a bit of the creme de cassis to reduce sweetness and it makes a good cocktail.
