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.

Enjoyable as written, and I like the idea of a Fernet Mule. Made it a second time with a splash of Amaro Montenegro and 2 dashes of Peychaud's which provided much more complexity.
