Description

Our Flamingo Apéritif is a vibrant and refreshing cocktail that's perfect for any occasion. This delightful concoction begins with a base of smooth Ameragave Silver, providing a crisp and clean agave flavor. The addition of Select Aperitivo brings a hint of herbal complexity, while fresh grapefruit and lime juices add a citrusy zing, creating a perfect balance of sweet and tart. The inclusion of Peychaud's bitters introduces a subtle spiciness, and a couple of drops of saline solution enhance the overall flavor profile. After being shaken over ice, the mixture is strained into a chilled highball glass and topped up with Fever Tree Grapefruit Soda, adding a fizzy and refreshing element to the drink. Garnished with a slice or peel of grapefruit, this cocktail is not only delicious but also visually appealing. Whether as a pre-dinner apéritif, a brunch accompaniment, or a summertime refreshment, the Flamingo Apéritif is sure to impress.
