Tanteo Jalapeño

I typically wouldn't buy this type of product -- flavored tequila. But this one is interesting, and tastes natural with a light, more refreshing than complex tequila expression.

The Jalapeño adds flavor, not heat, but what stands out are the notes of melon and cucumber.

It makes a delicious Margarita. But, tonight I concocted something a little more special...

2 oz Tanteo Jalapeño

1 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth

1/4 oz Ginger Syrup

1/4 oz St. Germaine

2 dashes TBT Celery Bitters

Manhattan Variant

Something I just put together on a whim. It worked.

1/2 oz Creme de Cacao (Hiram Walker)

1/2 oz Cynar

2 oz Bourbon (Four Roses)
