A rich, yet elegant Manhattan riff from Bay Area bartender Pilar Vree that has flavors reminiscent of a chocolate orange that has some Ancho chile zing 🍫🍊🌶🇲🇽 The butterscotch and citrus notes in the reposado tequila work very nicely with the cocoa and spice notes in the sweet vermouth and the chile notes in the Ancho liqueur while the chocolate mole and orange bitters (and essential oils from the twist) boost the chocolate orange notes. A delicious after-dinner sipper 2 oz Reposado Tequila (El Tesoro, Arte Nom, Ocho, etc) .5 oz Sweet Vermouth (both Carpano Antica and Cocchi Vermouth di Torino have cocoa notes that are nice here) .5 oz Ancho Reyes Ancho Chile Liqueur 1 dash Orange Bitters (I like to split between spicier Regan’s #6 and juicier Angostura Orange) 1 dash Chocolate Mole Bitters (Bittermens, Miracle Mile, etc) Stir with ice and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with an orange twist
