Essentials

Aperitif

My first cocktail to be placed on the menu at wormwood. I had the most fun putting this cocktail together as I randomly placed Pastis, Reposado, and some savory component. DBN was designed to be complex, aromatic, and attractive to the curious. Definitely a first-course martini or for whom prefer a lighter delight. The original idea called for Reposado tequila but at the moment, gin was the better alternative. I suggest to try the both and see which one pleases you the best!

1. Build (citrus, tomatillo solution, pastis, apricot liqueur, then tequila or gin) in a mixing glass. 2. Short stir. Strain into coupe. The tomatillo solution is mostly water and will add extra dilution upon stirring.

Editor's Note

A savory, aromatic martini riff that balances vegetal tomatillo and cucumber with a whisper of anise. The dehydrated tomato garnish adds a sophisticated, earthy finish.
