Juan Ho Royale

1 1⁄2 oz Blanco tequila
3⁄4 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Orgeat
1⁄2 oz Blue Curaçao
1⁄2 oz Falernum
2 oz Sparkling white wine (I used Prosecco.)
Instructions

Add Champagne or sparkling wine to a chilled coupe. Shake, double strain.

Notes

It calls for Velvet Falernum, but I used homemade falernum #10. I was afraid the drink would be too sweet. But it had a great balance of sweet and sour.

  • Made with El Tesero, Salers, Strega, and Ango orange bitters. Peppery and sweet, a nice balance that draws out nice things from the tequila.

Brad Ballinger commented on 1/27/2021:

Thank you.  This is a very good cocktail that marries bitter, sweet, citrus and herbal. It's a lot of ingredients, but each matters. I especially like how the Suze is tempered by the lemon and agave. Used Arette blanco and Dolin Dry. Housemade grapefruit bitters.

  • I increased the Liqor 43 to 3 teaspoons.
  • Nicely balanced. The coffee gives it a little bit of nuttiness, and the Fernet is a nice foil for the sweetness of the Licor 43. Four and a half stars if I could.
