Desert Rose
A tart and floral agave sour that utilizes Maraschino liqueur to add a dry, nutty funk to the bittersweet orange notes of Nonino.
Ingredients
- 0.75 oz Blanco tequila
- 0.75 oz Amaro Nonino
- 0.75 oz Maraschino liqueur
- 0.75 oz Fresh lime juice
Story
When I requested a drink featuring Maraschino, you proposed this “Last Word” style equal-parts riff. It shifted the profile from earlier spirit-forward suggestions to something bright and tart, highlighting how the dry cherry notes of the Maraschino interact with citrus and the Nonino’s botanicals.
Method
- Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin.
- Add ice and shake vigorously until well chilled.
- Fine strain into a chilled coupe.
Notes
- Exceptionally bright and floral — a daytime drink despite the equal-parts intensity.
