Say Anything

A refreshing summertime Sour riff from Ivy Mix of Brooklyn’s Leyenda featuring notes of citrus and cooling watermelon and mint 🍹🍉🌱📻
The citrus zest and green bell pepper notes in the unaged tequila combine with the green chile and cilantro notes in the infused vodka to create a base that complements the cooling watermelon syrup and the tart lime juice. Unaged cachaca adds some notes of grassy sugarcane and tropical fruit aroma to the base while the bittersweet Aperol helps bridge the lime and watermelon syrup to the tequila and cachaca. A splash of mint liqueur helps boost the cooling sensations in each sip
.75 oz Blanco Tequila (100% agave; Tapatio; El Tesoro; Siete Leguas, etc)
.5 oz Unaged Cachaca (Avua Prata, Novo Fogo Silver, etc)
.5 oz Aperol (Bittersweet Aperitivo with notes of grapefruit and orange peels)
.25 oz St George Green Chile Vodka (vodka infused with jalapeño, poblano, serrano, and cilantro)
