Margarita meets Campari
A Paloma routed through Campari: tequila, lime, and grapefruit given a bittersweet red edge. Bright, bitter, and sneakily sophisticated.
Ingredients
- 2 oz Tequila Blanco
- 1/2 oz Campari
- 1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 1/2 oz Grapefruit Juice
- 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
Method
Add tequila, Campari, lime juice, grapefruit juice, and simple syrup to a shaker filled with ice. Shake until well chilled. Double-strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.
Created in 2006 by Katie Stipe at Flatiron Lounge, Manhattan. Documented in Jim Meehan's The PDT Cocktail Book (2011). Per Difford's Guide #5086, the drink blends Hemingway Daiquiri, Paloma, and Margarita templates—a spin using tequila and Campari in place of rum and maraschino.
