San Antonio Cloud

I found the recipe on a scrap of paper along with a bunch of other little “notes to self” hiding in my desk a few years ago. There was no reference on it, so I have no idea where it came from. Anyway, it’s a tequila based cocktail with the tartness and color of pomegranate. The elderflower foam floating on top makes for a pretty as well as delicious drink. (A valentine favorite!)

  • 1 ½ oz. Milagro Plata Tequila
  • 1 oz. pomegranate juice
  • dash rhubarb bitters
  • dash 2:1 simple syrup
  • St. Germaine Elderflower Foam
  • Misto of Chartreuse
  1. Chill cocktail glass with ice and water
  2. Stir all ingredients, except foam, with ice
  3. Add St. Germaine Elderflower Foam to chilled glass
  4. Strain drink through foam into glass
  5. Flame drink with Misto of Chartreuse

Cheers!

I’m Not Dead Yet

The spice in the rye goes well with the herbal elements of the St. Germain and bitterness of the Aperol.  You can cut the St. Germain down to 1/4 oz, but you will need to reduce the bitters as well.

  • 1 1/2 oz Rye Whiskey
  • 3/4 oz St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur
  • 3/4 oz Aperol
  • 1-2 dashes rhubarb bitters
