flickerdart commented on 7/09/2023:

A little tart but otherwise a nice variation on the French 75 formula.

Trial By Fire

1 1⁄2 oz Tequila, El Tesoro Platinum
3⁄4 oz Pineapple juice
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1⁄2 oz Simple syrup (Mango-Habanero)
3 dr Salt Solution (10% Saline Solution)
1 ds Bitters, Bittermens Hopped Grapefruit
Instructions

Shake, fine strain into a chilled coupe, garnish with manicured grapefruit swathe (no expression).

Notes

The pineapple and mango syrup provide an incredible texture with a deceptive foam on top often perceived as egg white. Also, utilizing a tohona milled tequila such as El Tesoro provides an even richer texture. It has a pleasant sweetness balanced out with acidity, the grassy notes from the agave, and a kiss of heat that remains consistent throughout rather than gradually increasing with each sip.

Curated this to clarify the creator of the original. 

Shawn C commented on 5/18/2023:

Rich but potent, well structured with lush berry/grape from the wine based amaro/aperitif, along with the maple and plethora of other warm and welcoming flavors. 4.5 out of 5 (only dinging half for how sweet it is) but rating a 5 because it didn't last long in my glass, and I am certain my wife will like this variation on a rich Black Manhattan theme.

Sweet but good, but sweet. Orange bitter is very important. Made with Grand Marnier, half Eagle Rare and Dad's Hat, angostura orange...

Maybe better on the rocks ?

Craig E commented on 11/15/2018:

Yes, rocks had occurred to me as a remedy for the lip-coating sugariness. I'll give it a try and consider changing the recipe. Thanks for trying it!
