Bad Romance

DIFFICULTY:

We were singing the praises of this cocktail even before Lady Gaga told us about her loss at love. The mash up of exciting flavors keeps us coming back for more: aquavit (anise), Big O (ginger and spice), dry vermouth (a little herbal funk), blanco tequila (vegetal heat), Peychaud’s (citrus), and absinthe (a little more herbaceous-ness). A complex but pleasing symphony of flavors sure to please the discerning palate winter or summer.
