Haunting Hacienda

1 1⁄2 oz Blanco tequila
1⁄2 oz Campari
1 oz Lime juice
1⁄2 oz Blood orange (Liber & Co.)
3 dr Salt Solution (20%)
Instructions

In a cocktail shaker, combine all the ingredients
Shake with ice for 10-12 seconds
Strain into a glass over ice
Garnish with a wheel of blood orange and a sprig of mint

Notes

Blanco tequila's earthy agave notes are paired with Liber & Co.’s blood orange cordial and the bitter bite of Campari. Fresh lime juice brings acidity and balance, while a touch of salt brings it back to margarita territory, resulting in a familiar yet unique Halloween libation.

1⁄2 oz Chambord
Instructions

Add all ingredients to mixing glass and stir with ice. Serve up, in chilled coupe.

Yes, sweet, it’s supposed to be. But not cloyingly so. Tried sweet vermouth first, but the Lillet is a better partner.

Gens du Monde

1 oz Bourbon, Booker's
1 oz Maurin Quina
1 oz Amaro Nonino
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
2 ds Bitters, Angostura Orange
2 ds Bitters, Bittermens Xocolatl Mole
Instructions

Stir with ice, strain into snifter glass

Notes

I used Wild Turkey Rare Breed Bourbon (I didn't have Booker's.) This is a great combination of Maurin Quina and Nonino. They work harmoniously with the bourbon (not unlike my "Devil's Gondolier" which uses Select Aperitivo with Maurin Quina, and no bitters) While I generally don't favor/use Angostura's Orange Bitters unless called out, in this case the latter helps provide a tang that accentuates the Nonino in this recipe--the overall bitters package is a force multiplier here.
