Story
The Marigold followed the success of Desert Monk, carrying the proven lemon-and-bitter-herbal direction into a reposado tequila drink with Strega and maraschino.
Method
- Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
- Shake hard until thoroughly chilled.
- Double-strain into a chilled coupe.
- Express a lemon peel over the drink and garnish.
Notes
- Leave out simple syrup initially. Strega and maraschino bring enough sweetness for a tart, herbal, fairly spirit-forward drink.
- If the first sip is too austere, add a barspoon of simple syrup and reshake.
- Strega supplies saffron, mint, and herbal sweetness; maraschino brings funky cherry-pit notes; Cynar provides a dark bitter floor beneath the reposado.
