About
I created this cocktail for a paid PATRÓN campaign using PATRÓN Reposado and pairing it with BonBon. It is my riff on the Baby Turtle, originally created at Trick Dog, with additional inspiration from the One Foot Out the Door at Malpractice in Portland, Oregon, particularly its use of acid-adjusted grapefruit. A red bitter liqueur, grapefruit, and a touch of spice balance the sweeter ingredients, while the foamer gives the drink a soft, silky texture.Cheers y’all!
