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.

  • The Tequila feels overpowering and the combo of the two Amari seems to cause both to be a little lost. More than drinkable but nothing stellar. Made w/ Reposado.
  • Nice for bitter lovers.

Timut pepper is citrusy, floral.
