"Silencio Bruno | Crafted Pour"

"It’s been a little while since I created my own recipe and I had this nagging thought as I went to the drawing board. “No, that won’t work, that’s not creative enough, why would you want so much damn orange.” Maybe an adorable Pixar film doesn’t quite suit this margarita (?) riff but the idea of telling your doubts to STFU certainly does and thats what I did with this cocktail. Making use of my new Breville Smoke Gun I used the hickory wood chips to infuse the glass with smoke while I prepped the rest of the ingredients. This drink is complex, with the split base of the smokey but delicious El Silencio Mezcal, the bittersweet berries and chocolate notes of the infused Rammazzoti Amaro and the spicy orange of Pierre Ferrand’s Curaçao; from there, everything’s an accent to those principal flavors. Blood Orange Cordial amplified by the Curaçao brings intense orange flavor to anchor the drink while the Bittermen’s Xocolatl Mole bitters exentuate the chocolate notes of the amaro. The hickory smoke elevates the smokey profile of the mezcal while Jerry Thomas Decanter bitters hit the berry notes of the Ramazzoti and the spice notes of the Curaçao.
