Suze you, Sir
2 oz
Blanco, white spirit, white, plata or silver tequila refers to a young, unaged tequila.
0.5 oz
A very dry version of French vermouth containing much less than 4% sugar.
0.5 oz
A Swiss aperitif flavored with gentian roots; 15% ABV. Pablo Picasso depicted a bottle in his collage 'Verre et bouteille de Suze'.
0.5 tsp
A syrup made from the agave tequilana and agave salmiana. It is composed mainly of fructose, which hits the tongue fast and fades. To make an agave syrup that substitutes for simple, for every 100g agave mix 50g water, that will be a 2:1 dilution ratio.
1 dash
A citrus flavored bitters made with grapefruit. Try them in a Gin & Tonic.
1 twist
A yellow citrus fruit. The peel is often used as a garnish while the juice incorporated into the drink for a tart flavor profile (citric acid).
Stir all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled glass. Garnish with a lemon twist. #stir #straight
The OG recipe from Rufus Grantham calls for 2oz tequila, 0.5oz dry vermouth, 0.5oz Suze and 4 drops of grapefruit bitters, omitting the agave.
