  • Used Rhum Barboncourt, 1 dropper of Hopped Grapefruit bitters. Sweet initially but with bitter finish. Grapefruit twist was perfect. Like it!

Muerte o Gloria

1 oz Aperol
1 oz Mezcal
1 oz Sweet vermouth
6 dr Orange cream citrate
1 Grapefruit peel (garnish)
Instructions

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the Aperol, mezcal, and vermouth. Add 4-6 drops of Orange Cream Citrate. Stir until well-chilled and strain into a glass with one large ice cube.

Notes

The original name of this drink was listed on Bittermen's website as Death and Glory. As there was already a drink here (a different drink) with that name, I translated to Spanish as a nod to the Mezcal.
