Mountain of Light

A bright, spiced Old Fashioned riff from Death & Co’s LA outpost 🏔 🌩 🍏
The Blanco tequila has bright notes of citrus and green vegetation that are balanced by the tannic, sweet/tart green apple liqueur while the cardamom bitters add a touch of warming spice and the essential oils from the citrus twist helps bridge the flavors
2 oz Blanco Tequila (Fortaleza, El Tesoro, Siete Leguas, etc; 100% blue agave is important)
.25 oz Green Apple Liqueur (Leopold Brothers)
Tsp Simple Syrup (1:1)
1 dash Scrappy’s Cardamom Bitters
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled double rocks glass with a large ice cube. Garnish by expressing the essential oils from an orange twist (discard the twist). Can add a green apple fan if handy
