Shawn C commented on 4/21/2024:

The heat of the Moroccan bitters and flavor notes of the Amaro Noveis are keys for this drink. Experiment with the vermouth and rye to tune for your tastes. Notes say 2023 menu. Where? It would be a positive to list the region, state, city (or whatever level is acceptable to the poster) and anything more about the creator if they wish to provide that.

Glad you like the drink! The menu reference is for me to remember, it's my home menu not an actual bar menu.


Gringa

2 oz Gin
1⁄4 oz Ancho Reyes chile liqueur
1⁄4 oz Crème de Cacao, Tempus Fugit
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
1 sli Candied ginger (as garnish)
Instructions

Reverse dry shake; serve up; garnish with 5 drops of tiki bitters, an expressed lemon twist, and a piece of candied ginger.

Notes

The nose is complex, with the pie spices of the bitters brightened by ginger, lemon oil, and juniper. Egg froth gives the sip a dairy creaminess in texture. Sip is bright sweet and sour, with the chocolate flavors coming up behind. The vanilla in the Tempus Fugit is brought out, combining with the citrus to add Creamsicle notes. The pepper liqueur is surprisingly subtle, quelled I suppose by the egg white, which in fact softens all of the flavors. To temper that softening effect, don’t use too much egg white—if mixing two drinks I’d probably suggest using the white of one egg for both. (The drink works quite well with leaving the egg white out entirely, but then it didn't qualify for the challenge!)

History

Made for the Reddit Original Cocktail Competition, April 2023: Gin & Egg. The required ingredients called to mind a White Lady, so my starting point was wondering what liqueurs might be subbed for the triple sec in that recipe. The odd flavor combo at the heart of the also-classic Twentieth Century cocktail—lemon and chocolate—occurred to me, followed by the inspiration that the chocolate component could be like Mexican chocolate, which often incorporates flavors like cinnamon, chiles, and ginger.
For the name, I asked myself what you might call a White Lady in Mexico.

  • The Aquavit and Mezcal work surprisingly well together. A bit similar to a Beachfire Margarita. I used straight Agave Nectar and have not tried with a dill sprig.
