🥃 Serve in: Highball Glass
Nothing good happens after midnight. This drink is the exception, or at least it makes a convincing argument. Tequila and amaretto meet in the dark, the almond’s warm, marzipan sweetness rounding off the agave’s rough edges. A quiet drop of crème de menthe slips in behind them, cool and minty enough to keep things from getting too cozy. Ginger beer finishes the job with a spicy, fizzy lift that wakes everything up just as you should be winding down. It’s sweet, nutty and a little wicked, a highball made for the hour when the good decisions have all gone home and the interesting ones are just arriving.
Fill a shaker 2/3rds with ice and add the ingredients except the ginger beer. Shake until chilled. Pour into a highball glass and top with ginger beer.
