Twisted Shroud
This cocktail delivers a mysterious, aromatic experience, where each sip unfolds like a journey through a shadowy forest.
Ingredients:
- 1.5 oz Lalo Blanco Tequila
- 0.5 oz Cointreau (or other orange liqueur)
- 0.5 oz Bordeaux cherry juice
- 0.25 oz Bénédictine liqueur
- Smoked cherry wood (for aroma)
Method: Combine all the liquid ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake well until chilled, about 10–15 seconds. Fine strain the mixture into a rocks glass, garnish with a trimmed orange peel. On the base of a glass cloche, flame some cherry wood chips. Place the drink on the base, and then place the cloche. Once the flames go out, it will fill with smoke. Lift the cloche to release the aromatic smoke and enjoy the experience. Be sure to savor each sip as the flavors unfold. Cheers!
