🥃

Shake Tequila Blanco, Triple Sec, Lime Juice, Campari with ice. Strain into a coupe.

At an upscale restaurant with a somewhat uninspired drink list, I spotted a Gin / Campari / Triple Sec "Martini" that left me unimpressed. Instead, I opted for their Strawberry Margarita made with fresh puree. Inspired by the tequila's robust character and its potential to complement bitter flavors, I swapped out the strawberries for Campari.
