The Surplus

1 1⁄2 oz Pisco
3⁄4 oz Aperol
1⁄2 oz Elderflower liqueur
1⁄2 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
2 pn Salt (Himalayan Pink Rock Salt)
Instructions

Shake with ice, strain into a frozen coupe glass.

Notes

This is the first-try recipe. Interesting, and needs a bit of experimentation for the best balance. And the Himalayan Pink Rock Salt adds an interesting bit of pretension.

History

I had a large surplus of bottles on the bar and just threw a few things together as an experiment.

Sweet and spicy - nice use of Pisco as a base for elderflower, chile and citrus of Aperol.

Very nice balance of sweet, bitter, and slight spice.  Will make again.
