Sandy The Showgirl

Sandy The Showgirl is an elegant, spirit-forward cocktail that showcases agave flavors brilliantly, pairing rich Añejo tequila with the complex earthiness and smoke of mezcal. The blend is delicately sweetened with agave syrup and maraschino liqueur, while a few drops of lavender bitters provide a stunningly floral lift. Stirred and served chilled with an expressed lime zest, this slow-developing sipper also shines when poured over the rocks.
