This little cocktail was actually a bit of an accident.
In the heat of the summer, I wanted to create something rather refreshing.
Surprisingly, I wasn’t craving wine and I was feeling a little too lazy to craft the perfect martini (the perfect martini takes a bit of work, by the way).
Thus, I scanned the cabinet, put on my thinking cap, snapped my fingers…
…and the Citrus Sundown was born.
Citrus Sundown
2 oz. white tequila
1 oz. bourbon
1/2 oz. lemon simple syrup
2 large candied orange peels
Layer the tequila, bourbon, and syrup. Toss in the orange peels and a large “rock.”
Relax.
A fantastic drink. Connoisseur approved.
