The Imposter

What is that masked spicy tequila cocktail? The Imposter, a clever cocktail masquerading as a Bloody Mary’s lighter and brighter little brother. Typically, gin-based, we’ve added Azuñia Blanco organic tequila, expanding on the peppery notes of the libation. Gin still makes the ingredient list, along with simple syrup, lime juice, muddled cherry tomatoes and basil, hot sauce, and orange bitters. Don’t be afraid to unmask this spicy tequila cocktail at your next weekend brunch.
