DESTROYER COCKTAIL

The Destroyer Cocktail is one of the more mysterious cocktails in my repertoire.  I like to pull this one out to surprise guests and have them try to guess the ingredients.  The tequila is a surprise and blends well with the Dubonnet and orange liqueur.  And it’s hard not to like a name like “Destroyer”!

Recipe

1 1/2 oz Tequila Reposado

1 oz Dubonnet Rouge

1/4 oz Orange Liqueur (preferably Grand Marnier or similar)

1 dash black walnut bitters

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker.  Add ice and stir until well chilled.  Strain into cocktail or coup glass.
