Ingredients:
- 50ml tequila
- 15ml lemon juice
- 5ml white creme de cacao
- 5ml grenadine
- dash of bitters
Instructions:
Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. You’re supposed to garnish it with a maraschino cherry & slice of orange, but I don’t really like maraschino cherries and didn’t have any oranges so used lemon instead.
The taste is very … interesting. The tequila dominates and combines well with the lemon, but you can still taste the chocolatey flavour of the creme de cacao and the herby/spicy bitters. The grenadine may have added a bit of sweetness but mostly seems to add colour. I sipped this very slowly over more than an hour and found that it seemed to taste better after time. I think I’ll have to try it again though, it was an interesting set of flavours.

Would you choose this over a margarita?

No, definitely not. I’d like to try it again, but I’d take a good margarita over this any day.
