Shake, strain, rocks, lowball, twist
The Cynar accentuates the grassy qualities of the blanco tequila (I used Cabo Wabo but any grassy blanco will do). The Angostura and orange peel settle it down a bit, though it is still an intense (bitter, packs a punch) cocktail. If I have time, I mix it and put it in the freezer for 20 minutes to cool it without watering it down.
This is a variation of another drink, which used reposado tequila, no bitters, and lemon peel (can't find it, let me know). I experimented around (different tequila, different ratios, different bitters) and found I liked this one the best. I took the name from dandelion, which is usually found on a lawn. I changed it to the etymology as it is a stronger drink (more lion than weed). Plus the orange twist looks like a lion's mane.
