  • Bitters, Vinegar, and bourbon work reallyy well together. essentially a great funky version of a bourbon sour
  • Roughly whiskey sour-like, with the vinegar and heavy bitters bringing in fascinating twists in the finish.

  • A bit sour for me. I upped the Cappelletti to 1 oz. which helped a bit.
  • 1.5 oz rum, 1 oz Capelletti. Bright, funky, and delicious. — ★★★★★
  • Made with R&W Orchard Apricot. Apricot dominates and lime not far behind; rum and amaro surprisingly subdued but lending complexity. A fave use of apricot liqueur. — ★★★★
Similar cocktails

didn't have the apricot liqueur so I subbed in a local apple brandy and shook in a couple of dashes of peach bitters...turned out quite lovely

Use 1/2 Campari and 1/2 Aperol for the Aperitivo. Very good. I would reduce the lime to 1/2 and omit the simple.

The GTO

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Aviation
1⁄4 oz Añejo tequila
1⁄3 oz Demerara syrup (2:1)
2 ds Orange bitters
Instructions

Combine all ingredients into a mixing glass, add 75% ice and stir 10-15 seconds. Single strain into a coupe.

Notes

I took out the vodka entirely, and chose an American gin for its more subdued botanical strength. The anejo tequila was chosen for its golden color and softer background flavors of oak and vanilla. The demerara syrup also adds to the color and embellishes the sweet background notes. Orange bitters to give a roundness of citrus. I love this drink and have sold a few in the past, not bad for a drink of gin and tequila.

History

The original shot was called a "tejeuve", or the Spanish abbreviation for TGV, Tequila, Gin, Vodka. It was a double shot which was comprised of the three spirits, and chilled.

Not bad, but why so small? I certainly wouldn't call it a 'shot', but it only fills half a coupe.

The original drink was a "double shot which was comprised of the three spirits, and chilled" - so I'd imagine this is meant to mimic that. Thanks,  Zachary

  • Refreshingly dry but nothing special, really.
  • I prefer a lighter touch with the grenadine, but your mileage may vary.

  • strong rye overwhelms or try a stronger amaro — ★★★★
  • I'd love to try this with Nonino instead of Montenegro.
  • Spicy, reminds me of Pumpernickel, but Laird's added more rawness than I expected.
