Try the total recipe plus extra from Bar Supervisor Josh Weed beneath!
“I used a mixture of Casa Obsidiana Blanco Tequila, Copalli Cacao Rum, Brucato Chaparral and Ramazzotti Rosato with a pair dashes of Peychaud bitters. It’s a spirit solely cocktail within the vein of a Negroni the place a wedding of flavors is achieved utilizing these seemingly disparate substances. With the Casa Obsidiana tequila being the spine, just a little cacao rum brings a component of baking spice and chocolate, each notes I discover within the tequila itself.
Like a mockingbird that mimics the sounds and songs of many various creatures, this cocktail brings collectively many various flavors to create a brand new, one in all a form, cocktail. The world of cocktails is one in all fixed evolution and it simply so occurs that Charles Darwin first started to develop his principle that species evolve after observing refined variations between the completely different mockingbirds within the Galapagos archipelago.” — Josh Weed, Morimoto Napa Bar Supervisor
