ABOUT
This cocktail was created by my friend Jonny Norton (@yoers_). Mezcal does the heavy lifting. Montenegro brings in that warm orange and gentle spice, and Italicus lightens it up with bergamot and a soft, floral edge. A few drops of citric acid and saline keep it crisp, and grapefruit oil seals it all with a bright pop. Cheers y’all!
