Open Sesame

In the storybook “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves,” the phrase “Open Sesame” opens the mouth of a cave to reveal wondrous riches hidden by the thieves. We’d like to think that our cocktail of the same name shows its hidden treasures. The Open Sesame is an enticing blend of sesame-infused Azuñia Reposado organic tequila, Madeira wine, and real ginger syrup are brightened with yuzu, a Japanese citrus.
