Silk Sheets

Inspired by the split spirit classic Between the Sheets, this variation is centered around the centuries old aromatic spice liqueur, Alchermes. As a nod to the long history of this liqueur, the use of Mezcal pays tribute to the source of Alchermes' signature scarlet color. Cognac nods to a period when the French were obsessed with the liqueurs vitality inducing properties. Orange bitters lends some additional brightness to the otherwise intensely flavorsome libation.
