5/20/18 – Campari is an acquired taste, we know. You either love Negroni’s or you hate them.
So… for those who love them, try this riff on the Italian classic. Again, we didn’t want to mess too much with such a perfectly balanced drink, so here, the Avila replaces gin. We found the subtle smoke of the Avila cuts the bitterness of the Campari rather nicely. Some may refer to this drink as an “Agavoni”. Call it what you will, it’s straight up delicious.
3/17/18 – It’s so satisfying when a recipe so simple can be this delicious. The only booze you’ll need in this one is Revel Avila Blanco. Mix your sea salt with an equal part of cayenne pepper on a plate beforehand and sprinkle it on the beautiful foamy top the honey gives this cocktail. You’ll end up with a complex yet straight-forward blend of tart, sweet and spicy.
For those playing at home – We recommend a 1:1 ratio for the honey syrup: dump the honey in a saucepan with equal parts water and mix on a medium heat until it’s perfectly combined. (Be sure to let it cool before you get shaking, or it’ll dilute your drink too much!)
3/17/18 – Spring is almost here! To celebrate, we came up with this delicious champagne cocktail that’s light, fun and refreshing. The color on this one is stunning thanks to the muddled strawberry, which could be subbed with a raspberry if that’s more your speed.
2/16/18 – We were already huge fans of this beautifully colored “semi -classic” (In that it came about as recently as 2006). It’s like the love child of a Hemingway Daiquiri and a Margarita, (with tequila subbed for rum and Campari for maraschino liqueur).
So when we tried it with Revel Avila Blanco’s existing citrus notes, we found it beautifully complemented the lime, grapefruit and orange flavors already in this recipe.
The subtle smokiness of the Avila also blends well with the bitter Campari and the result is a perfectly balanced mix of sweet, bitter and tart that is undeniably refreshing.
