The Federation

2 oz Añejo tequila
1⁄2 oz Crème de Cacao, Tempus Fugit
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 rinse Absinthe
1 twst Orange peel
Instructions

Rinse a rocks glass with absinthe. Add ice, tequila, creme de cacao, and bitters; stir. Garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

Per link, this is meant to be a Sazerac variation. Apart from the absinthe rinse, I find it rather different from a Sazerac, but still tasty. Nice use of creme de cacao.

  • Used reposado for lack of anejo.

Tasty, but the flavors come off a bit disparate for me. I want to try it with a mezcal rinse plus a dash of absinthe in the mix. Hell, swap the Angostura for Mole and we're approaching Oaxaca OF territory.

  • Light on the elderflower and heavy on the vermouth, very tasty
  • I might overbalance the Dolin vs. the St-Germain
  • Interesting sweetness + bite. For when a martini just seems too dry.

Great recipe! Grapefruit twist is ideal but I made one with lemon too and that worked.

I make another drink that has an identical build but uses Cointreau (in place of Elderflower) and absinthe (in place of celery bitters) with an orange twist. I've heard it called a Foghorn, but there's a better known drink by that name as well. Reccomend checking that out if you like this!
