Me, Myself & I
Me, Myself & I is a vibrant, bittersweet sour that beautifully anchors the deep, artisanal smoke of mezcal with the sweet botanical intensity of red aperitivo liqueur. Shaken to a frosty chill with fresh pink grapefruit and lime juices, simple syrup, and a dash of Peychaud's bitters, this invigorating, citrus-forward cocktail is fine-strained into a chilled coupe and elegantly garnished with a grapefruit wedge.
Ingredients:
30 ml Amaro (e.g. Montenegro)
30 ml Italicus liqueur
Instructions:
Select and pre-chill an old-fashioned glass.
Prepare a garnish of orange zest twist.
Stir all ingredients with ice.
Strain into an ice-filled glass. (Better over good cubed ice than block ice.)
Express orange zest twist over the cocktail and use as garnish.
