Smoke on Blonde

Starring Manzanilla

Smoke on Blonde is refreshing and fragrant.  It is both adventurous and approachable and is perfectly paired with food.  The cocktail uses two kinds of Sherry built into a 20 century style old fashioned, but with fresh pineapple replacing the oranges and cherries.  Simple, approachable with a hint of the unexpected.

Ingredients

1 oz 
La Cigarrera Manzanilla Sherry
1 oz 
La Garrocha Amontillado Sherry
3/4 oz 
Bittermens Tepache Spiced pineapple liqueur
Sugar cube
3-4 dashes 
Orange bitters
4 chunks 
Fresh cut pineapple
Garnish 
Grapefruit peel and misting of Del Maguey Tobala Mezcal

Directions

In an old Fashioned glass, douse a sugar cube with orange bitters and muddle together with the chunks of pineapple till both the sugar and the pineapple are broken down and mixed. Add the sherries and liqueur and fill with ice.

Stir gently to incorporate all the ingredients together…about 20 stirs.

Garnish with a swath of grapefruit peel with the oils expressed and spritz or two of the mezcal.

Sweetness, spice and everything nice!
