Dolores Del Rio

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Cognac
  • 1 oz Mezcal
  • 1/2 oz Coffee Liqueur
  • 1/2 oz Benedictine
  • 1 dash Absinthe (I used 8 drops)

Instructions

Build in glass over a large ice cube.

Verdict

The mezcal is very present, but despite the amount doesn't overwhelm the cocktail. It's a lovely mix, and a lovely sipper.

Score

7/10

Notes

Apparently there are a lot of other cocktails with the same name, but this was invented by someone on reddit.

I used an atomizer for the absinth, and with two spritzes, you can just feel it on the nose with it taking over. I spritzed the glass after I built the cocktail. You might benefit from doing one sprites before and one after.

Glassware

Old fashioned
