It's been a while since I made a cocktail thread

So I made one.

I've been interested in cocktails using rosé lately, particularly ones that also use tequila. Fortunately, I just ran into this cocktail so I'm going to make it.


L’Auberge Español

• 3 ounces rosé
  ¾ ounce blanco tequila
  ¾ ounce lillet blanc
  ½ ounce fresh lemon juice
  ½ ounce demerara syrup (1:1)
  2 dashes grapefruit bitters
  soda water

Here's another tequila drink you might like.

Rosita

• 1 1/2 ounces tequila
• 1/2 ounce sweet vermouth
• 1/2 ounce dry vermouth
• 1/2 ounce Campari
• 1 dash Angostura bitters

Garnish: lemon twist

We had the neighbors over for another crack at a Cuban meal and my wife picked out a couple of cocktails including the Hemmingway Daquiri and another that everyone actually preferred over the former. I thought I had the recipe but while making this thread I realized I don't even have the name. So this thread is to be continued...

What will YOU be drinking?

L’Auberge Español

• 3 ounces rosé
• ¾ ounce blanco tequila
• ¾ ounce lillet blanc
• ½ ounce fresh lemon juice
• ½ ounce demerara syrup (1:1)
• 2 dashes grapefruit bitters
• soda water

Add the first 6 ingredients to a mixing glass and stir with ice. Strain into a Collins glass and top with soda water.

This was not as good as I hoped but it got better with an extra float if anejo.

Here's the one I couldn't remember. It has a touch of tiki with the pineapple juice and rum and had a nice frothy head.


Hotel Nacional

• 1 1/2 ounces white or aged rum
• 1/4 ounce apricot liqueur
• 1 ounce pineapple juice
• 1/2 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1/2 ounce simple syrup
• Garnish: lime wheel
