High Ground

Andrew Napier

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, we've paired the dusty, herbal profile of Fred Jerbis Vermut 25 with the resinous aromatics of Tequila Reposado. The resulting cocktail is a portrait of the arid scrub lands just before a storm: a heady combination of desert herbs, sandstone, and rainwater.

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Fred Jerbis Vermut 25
  • 1 oz Tequila Reposado
  • ⅛ oz pastis (we recommend Ricard)
  • 2 dashes Artemisia Karela bitters
  • Sprig of spearmint, as garnish

Preparation

  1. Combine everything in a shaker with ice and stir gently. 
  2. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with the spearmint.
