Siesta

Grapefruit and bitter red aperitivo broaden the citrus profile of a tequila sour. Equal small measures of juice, syrup and Campari make this a compact shaken drink rather than a long grapefruit soda cocktail.

Active preparation: 3 minutes

Ingredients

• 45 ml Blanco tequila, 100% agave
• 15 ml Campari
• 15 ml Fresh lime juice
• 15 ml Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water by weight)
• 15 ml Grapefruit juice
• 1 piece Grapefruit peel, for garnish

Instructions

1. Combine the blanco tequila, 100% agave, campari, fresh lime juice, simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water by weight) and grapefruit juice in a shaker, then fill it with cubed ice.
2. Seal the shaker and shake briskly until thoroughly cold, about 10–12 seconds.
3. Strain into a chilled coupe without ice.
4. Finish with a grapefruit twist and serve promptly.
