  • Used walnut orgeat, 1/2 oz Smith & Cross instead of full 2 oz Stiggins's Fancy. S&C somewhat dominates.

I really love amaro rabarbaro in Negroni variants, and was drawn to combine that with the 25 year PX sherry vinegar after remembering an essay in the original soft cover "Negroni" book by Gaz about a superlative Negroni using a few drops of aged PX sherry vinegar.

It's a garnish, if you can get 25 year old PX vinegar to come out of an atomizer... Thanks,  Zachary

Notes

It tastes "sophisticated and complex", just like a beautiful summer in the mouthfeel.

History

“Cinco de Mayo” was inspired by the namesake battle of the world-renowned celebration - the Mexican army's 1862 victory over France. The drink shows off a bloody war that Tequila is base for their nation,Wenneker Strawberry is the love of Mexican and raspberry gives the freshness for color of the blood with the red bell-pepper to give a bit of spicy when France failed. The lemon juice is to give the right balance of a losing battle and agave syrup is just to compliment the flavor of sweetness when they won. The Swizzle Masters Competition decided to make the drinks live at the Vinexpo in Bordeaux so Dubonnet Rouge is to add extra flavors and more complex for the drink. Then the Mezcal and a pinch black of pepper can be added for the smokiness of the war as well as the people who dead in the battle.

  • Revolver riff
  • With my tawdry coffee liqueur, too sweet, but to spec probably pretty good.
  • An excellent coffee cocktail.
