Quetzal

1 1⁄2 oz Mezcal
3⁄4 oz Grapefruit juice
1⁄2 oz Lime juice
3⁄8 oz Campari
3⁄8 oz Cinnamon syrup
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a grapefruit twist or lime wheel.

Notes

I was inspired by Don's Mix (grapefruit + cinnamon) and how well Campari works with cinnamon as well as grapefruit. The 3/8 oz measurements might seem odd, but the concept was to create a grapefruit-Campari-cinnamon syrup cordial so the drink build would be 1.5, 1.5, 0.5, 1 dash.

History

Created for the La Brasa menu winter menu.
