Refreshing

Tropical

This cocktail was created for the opening menu at The Third Door in Marietta GA. A base of equal parts Mezcal and Amaro, two categories cocktail drinkers can sometimes find intimidating, the Inner Demons is both bitter and smoky, but balanced with sharp acidity, bright tanginess, and subtle tropical fruit.

Editor's Note

Smoky mezcal meets herbal amaro in this balanced sour. Mango and tamarind provide a bright, tropical counterpoint that rounds out the bitter, earthy base.
