Midnight Bouquet

Midnight Bouquet is a beautifully balanced, spirit-forward, and bittersweet sipper created by Meaghan Dorman in New York City. It expertly layers the oaky notes of añejo tequila and the rich depth of Amaro Averna with a delicate floral pop of elderflower liqueur. Stirred with a wisp of smoky mezcal and a few drops of grapefruit bitters, this highly complex cocktail is served up in a chilled coupe and elegantly finished with an expressed grapefruit zest twist.

Ingredients:

• 45 ml Patrón Añejo tequila

• 22.5 ml Amaro (e.g., Averna)

• 15 ml Elderflower liqueur

• 7.5 ml Del Maguey Vida Clásico Mezcal

• 4 drops Bob's, Grapefruit Bitters

Instructions:

• Select and pre-chill a coupe glass.

• Prepare a garnish of grapefruit zest twist.

• Stir all ingredients with ice.

• Fine strain into a chilled glass.

• Express grapefruit zest twist over cocktail and use as garnish.
